I think the later model FWs generally have a higher pin than older models. If you look at mid size and up FWs that are 5yrs old or newer, you should be able to tow fairly level with a stock 10yr old truck.

Just ordered Air Lift bags and compressor kit for the sag issues Jerry. ;)
I just measured the floor of the truck to the floor in the garage and it is right at 3ft, maybe a half inch less. I plan on going with an Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch, which according to the specs is around 16-17 inches tall with the ball.
So, somewhere in the 52-54 inch range from the floor would be perfect pin height if my calculation are correct.
