Truck too tall for 5th wheel

My Dad has a 2014 Dodge 2500 4x4 he would like to use to tow a 5th wheel. The issue is that the truck be is 60-61" high which I believe is 6-7" too tall for most fifth wheel campers. There is no easy way to lower the truck.

Is the truck stock (no lift kits, larger tires/wheels, etc.)? If so, then there shouldn't be a problem with many NEWER 5th wheels - they are being designed for the higher and higher bed sides of the newer trucks.

In the case of our DRV Mobile Suites, DRV offers a 2" riser that's installed between the frame and suspension (typically a MorRyde independent suspension system) of the RV. My MS 38RSSA has the 2" riser (it was bought from dealer stock) but it isn't needed with my 2WD dually. As far as the newer 4WD duallies (including the Ram), some DRV owners are ordering their units with the 2" riser; others are not. I haven't seen anyone reporting that they are unable to get an acceptable setup for towing either way.

With a 2500, towing a DRV isn't an option, but I bring this up as other 5th wheel manufacturers may have similar options.
