Andersen Ultimate VS B&W Patriot Slider
I've been to the end of the internet and back, and I'm still torn on which hitch to get. I'll start off by saying my TV is a 2015 Ram 2500 CC SB with 35" inch tires. It's does not have a lift kit, but...

Ended up going with the Andersen Ultimate. Picked up the trailer today and it towed great! Trailer does sit nose high and I have about 7" clearance between the bed rails and bottom of the trailer. I guess I'll need to look into lifting the trailer a little or possibly going to a 33" tire on my truck so that the trailer will sit level.
Congrats on the new purchase! Is your ball at the lowest level? I think I have about 6" bed rail clearance at the lowest level. Not sure how much room you have, but you may be able to go with a little taller tire on the trailer also. Just don't go too high on the trailer, these things are already pretty tall. You don't want clearance issues with low bridges, gas stations, etc.
Thank you! My hitch is currently on the lowest level. As it sits now, I have just over 7" clearance between the bed rails and the trailer. It looks like I can move the pin box up one notch before it's maxed out, but I'm not sure how much of a difference that will make. Maybe that combined with a lager trailer tire will do the trick? As far as lifting the trailer goes, I have a friend that does it. He says he builds a frame of sorts that ends up adding about 4". It's an extremely clean job and he adds some gusseting as well. The trailer currently sits at 12'3" high but I definitely don't want it to be too tall.
