Well, the waiting is over. I went and brought my 5th wheel out of storage and found that the standard hitch will work. I had to move the hitch height up one notch so I don't endanger the box rails when on uneven ground. Camper/cab clearance is fine.

As you can see in the picture it rides nose high, but it was even worse with my Dodge. No way around that.
