I don't have a 5ver, but needed to raise my TC to clear the truck cab.
When I picked up the TC I told the dealer I calculated a 1-1.5" raise needed. The dealer said they knew it would fit fine without anything. So as it was getting loaded for the 1st time, we had to stop because there wasn't clearance between the cab and TC. Then the dealer put in 2x layers of 2" foam. I don't know why, but that is what I started with.
I puller out one later of 2" and later changed to 1" XPS (extruded polystyrene) I got the high density 25 psi version vs the more common 15 psi.
I am still using the same sheet of XPS 8 years and 60k+ miles later.
With the change from the 4" to 2" and to 1" height, I could notice a difference in the amount of body roll (sway). Not huge amounts, but it's there.
