Clearance Between Bed Rails and Fiver. Yikes!
I was about to place an order for a 2014 3500HD 4x4 Ram, but went to dealer's lot first to take some measurements. If I want to tow my fifth wheel level, it looks like I'm only going to have 2 inches...

The pucks are flush with bed....BUT, the picture frame adapter sits higher than a regular rail kit...again, I had to lower my 5er hitch one notch, by time 5er was locked onto hitch, trucks rear end dropped a couple inches and 5er actually set more level than on the 10 and 12 model Ram 3500 dually's I had....clearance is a little over 5"
Jim, how much pin weight do you have to force that 2" drop?
Sent to you in PM...will re-weigh my 5er next month when I, (weather permitting), take our first camping trip to TN...last weigh was 5er at 16,050# with a pin weight of 3300#....
It just barely dropped 2"...I was almost hoping it would drop further, but didn't (new frame and rear suspension??)..Anyway, when I weigh it, will keep an "up to date numbers":)
