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?
Last time I weighed my truck with 5er on it, my pin weight was @ 3300# and the weight of the 5er was 16,050#....The truck didn't drop as far as my 10 and 12 did...maybe the new frame and rear suspension? It may not be quite 2"...but it was close to that....again, it's the most level of the 3 Dodge/Ram trucks towing this 5er that I've had
