Lowering a Ram 2500 2 in.

2 WD or 4WD

There are spacers between the axle and spring pack that can be moved to the top of the spring pack. It does however create an issue with removal of one of the caliper mounting bolts. Once in a 100K issue.

I too, have a 2016 Ram that's high. Raised the fifth wheel 3 inches with a professional box frame. Our trailer towed taller in front, and the pin box rubbed the side of the bed rails when turned sharply before the modification.
The highest point on our trailer is the front most vent cover. Our trailer slopes down towards the rear to where the AC is located. I "think" that if you raised the axles or suspension, it wouldn't change the overall height much--if the tall spot is in front.
Maybe, if you found a level spot, measured the height, then backed the tires up on blocks--then re measured again?
The highway standard seems to be 13'6'. Trees are the problem mostly for us.
Good luck.

Strange, I thought the 2500 had coil springs?

How much rail clearance do you have? You only really need 6” I most cases.

Load some more weight in the nose of the trailer or truck bed. Should drop it down a bit.

I am questioning the 13' 5" height! My DRV WITH 3" risers sets at 13' 5".

Yeah, my mistake! This worked on older 2500's and still does on leaf spring 3500's. My bad. Like who would put coils on a 3/4 T truck. We got over that years ago on Chevy's. :E :E :E Chris

His profile says Cougar 290EFS and that is listed at 11'10" tall. He must that gotten a new 5th wheel also. Our Big Horn is 13'3" stock. However not towable with a 2500.

Once again .......more questions raised then answered due to lack of information

OP
Which truck?
What 5th wheel?

Bit more info would get better answers
