I have about 8" of clearance from the bed rail to the bottom of the 5vr. I can not adjust the hitch to lower it at all, Super Glide. I can not raise the pin box any higher because it is tight up against the fiberglass nose of the 5ver. The pin could physically go up another set of holes if I cut into the fiberglass noose to take a piece out of it as wide as the pin and 1-1/2" high so the pin box can slide up.
Can't get any pictures until next week end now.
How nose-high are you? If only a couple inches, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm in the same boat as you and, because I go off-road, I =need= the clearance and I don't worry about being 2" nose-high.

Doesn't your Jayco have the Jake plates that the spring shackles are attached to? Our 1996 Designer 3030RKSS and 2000 Designer XL 3610RLTS did. If so, are the shackle bolts in the bottom holes of the Jake plates? Looking at your tires in the wheel wells, it doesn't look like it. Dropping the shackle bolts to the bottom holes of the Jake plates would raise the 5th wheel 3" to 4", IIRC. That would certainly help to level it out.

Something doesn't sound right. You should be able to drop either the pin or the hitch enough to get it down to 6" of clearnce.
If true, a simpler solution might be to find a shorter pinbox and bolt that in place.
