Hi azrving,
I was wondering what hitch you have what year Ram you have. Do you happen to know the height of the hitch?
I received some information from Pullrite. It appears to get the lowest hitch height setup using a Superglide hitch, I would need to use the standard rail mounting setup, not using the OEM Ram 5th Wheel prep kit (which I dont have in my truck anyways). The reason why, Pullrite does not make a hitch that plugs directly into the OEM 5th wheel pucks. You need a picture frame adapter and in certain situations you need an additional adapter to use the OEM puck system. So using those adapters can raise the hitch 3" to 6". If using just the standard rail mount, this is about a 1" rise.
From Pullrite, the 16K hitch model 2700 is 17.25" tall. Using the standard rail mount that adds about 1" more...that would be about 18.25" tall
The 16K hitch model 4100 is 14.5" tall. I'm no too sure of the mounting system for the 4100 model hitch so not sure how much additional height that would add?
I was curious if anyone that has a late model 4x4 Ram uses a hitch that is about 17 to 18" tall? If so did you have to do any modifications to the trailer (lift etc..) to get the trailer level?
Another note, I do plan on changing the stock wheels/tires to 16" wheels and LT tires..
