Looking for ideas with bedrail clearence on 2013 Ram 2500


I traded my 2011 F250 Short Box CrewCab for a 2013 Ram 2500 Crew Cab. We have a 2011 Heartland Sundance XLT 285BH fifthwheel and a B&W Companion Hitch. On the Ford I had plenty of both cab clearance turning and bed clearance. Now with the Ram I have a bit less clearance in the back of the bed then I would like but plenty of room in the front of the box. Also when hooked up I don't think the pickup is squating hardly at all. To fix the cab clearance I have a B&W slider on order. Currently its setup with the pinbox almost as close to the trailer as it goes there are several positions that would allow it to drop lower away from the trailer. My companion hitch is set in its highest position. Our trailer came with the axles already below the springs which is the only thing the dealers have told me as an option. What I can't find out from any of the local dealers I've called is how nose high do you dare have a fifth wheel. Looking for any ideas.
