Njmurvin, With your light RV pin weight, probably only a couple of inches! With a very heavy trailer pin/hitch weight you “may” get close to your needed “squat”.

After our first trip with our Ram 3500 soft suspension towing a very high pin weight RV, resulted in night driving on low beams to replicate the unloaded truck high beams. When passing an opposing vehicle, I had to go to “high beams” to put my lights above the approaching vehicle. For our next trip.....we had air bags!
These newer trucks are ridiculously high, and make maintaining a level truck and 5th wheel RV while maintaining adequate box top rail/RV clearance, a very difficult proposition! memtb
