Also have to consider the distance between rear stabilizers and ground. We have same condition as OP. Old truck, no prob w/ rear stabs. New truck, stabs were closer to ground (less clearance). Lowered the RV susp 1 hole and now have good gap at stabs. A 4-way head on hitch helps a lot as well.
Are you talking about the 2 hydraulic stabilizers up front?
Just curious on thoes as well, how do they compare with an electric tongue jack as far as strength and lifting capacity?
No, the 2 rear stabilizers, They will be going up the driveway 1st if you will and as you back off the street, they will be closest until camper tires start up the driveway. All the while this is happening and as others have pointed out, the underside of front of 5er will start to tilt in relation to angle of truck on street, camper on driveway thus creating a temp loss of clearance or gap between top of box and underside of 5er.
