You could replace the tailgate cables with chains and cut a hole in the tailgate for the 5er's pin... do not turn too sharp.
I would put a goose-neck adapter on the 5er and use a solid 2' receiver to move the ball back enough so the trailer does not hit your PU.
Not sure that I understand fully.
I take the tailgate off when I tow.
The clearance problem is not fore & aft it is bed rail height.
My best understanding is that I want the pin centered over the TV axle.
I do understand the blocks to raise the trailer. How high do you all think that I could safely go?
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
