Jim @ VIP seems to think a axle flip will give me 4"/5". I think that’s all I need.
I'm going to hook it up this weekend and see what I get with the pin weight on it. That will be the deciding factor of what I need in the end.
4-5" is still real tight. I think I'm at 6" and it gets close on occasion. had the same issue when I went from 2005 Duramax to 2012. All the new trucks are taller and have deeper beds but not sure why. I assume newer trailers are taking this into account. My BIL just got a new 30' non TH fifth wheel and it fit his truck but was so low he couldn't get it in the driveway, had to actually lower the axles via a subframe, it's a little high but not too bad.
