Rob, I was very concerned about the bed height too, and had my dealer talk to the Jayco rep. I had read several stories of folks having issues with the 2015 Eagle HT, as well as others due to the tall trucks. I'm thinking we may be ok.
I had already specified 16" rims and tires, both for the 2" gain in height and to get E rated tires.
For 2016 Jayco has placed a 2" square stock spacer in between the axle and spring pack.
They also have an extra hole on the spring shackle 2" lower than the standard position. If specified on order they will set the springs in the lower hole to gain another 2". All told it should be about 6" higher than a comparable 2015 with 15" tires.
