I am considering buying a 2 wd Ram diesel 2500 truck for towing my 5th wheel trailer. Late model trucks have much higher tailgates than older model 2500 trucks like my 2005 diesel Ram. Just curious how others have addressed the clearance issues between the pin box and the tailgate. I do have a small amount of additional height that I can gain on the jack plates by lowering the axles, but that is only 2 inches. Tires on the 5th wheel are 15 inches. I know that I could do an axle flip but looking for other options also. Thanks.
