2013+ ram 3500 receiver hitch height
I just ordered a 2016 Ram 3500 and I know it will sit much higher than my 2012 Ram 1500 and im curious if I need to buy a new hitch shank. Could you please let me know how high it is from the ground ...

Why don't you go by the dealer's lot with a tape measure. That's what I did when I was worried about rail height. 4WD vehicles may be different BTW.
Tried that when i ordered but neither dealer i visited had a 3500 on the lot. They were both smaller dealers who dont do a lot of heavy duty sales. Ive read that the 2500 sit higher so I didnt want to bother with those or a drw. It doesnt have to be spot on, but a couple numbers when averaged would probably get me close enough to tell me if I should be good or not.
Ive already found the 2.5" shank with a longer drop that will work with my hitch on etrailer but wasnt going to purchase unless I either found I needed the extra drop or two, the hitch felt too sloppy with the adapter.
My 2500 sits exactly an inch higher than the 3500 picture posted above. Just figured I'd answer that open question.
