I have a 2014 ram 3500 with the 5th wheel prelp and a reese select hitch with the picture fame adapter towing a 2013 voltage 3200 with a trail air pinbox. Hitch is as low as it can go and the pin box is as high as it can go. I have 11 inches of clearance from top of bed to 5th wheel. Hitched up I am around 10 inches nose high. I know this is probably too much. Any sugestions? I already looked at other hitches like the Andersen ultimate, but that would only get me around an inch and a half lower. I plan on weighing the axles. Is my only option to raise the trailer?
I have the same problem except and the same truck. My axels are already on the bottom of the springs. I have about 7 inches clerance from the bed which is as close as I want to get. The trailer tows great. I am going to leave mine like it is unless my tires indicate the back axel is carrying too much load. I think the trailer suspension equalizes the load.
You are noticeably pin high 4" to 11" I sure be working to get the 5er closer to level. Go to a weigh station and weigh the individual axles, I think you will be surprised at the weight difference.
I am only about 2" to 3" pin high and still working to get level.
This is not the best picture (sun glare and finger in picture), but it does show I am still a bit pine high. Likely going for the Lippert alignment kit.
