looks to me like the only spot you could possibly run into problems is when the truck is on the road and the 5er is on the drive. That's where it will be the closest. Once the 5er is up on the flat part it's actually going to raise the nose of the 5er in relation to the truck. Looks to me like you'll be able to come in at an angle there and be fine. The only other issue I see is having the pin pulling up on the jaws of the hitch once you get it in position. Ideally you want the truck and the 5er to be somewhat level when hitching and unhitching. You have a few options there though that are easy. You can either back the front tires onto boards to level out the nose of the truck or what I would do is put down a couple 2x12 boards and back the 5er off the pad a little bit.
