Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the forums as well as the fifth wheel life, and I need some advice. I have a 2008 2500 ram 6.7L with 2" blocks in the rear, 37" tires, and firestone air bags will be put on this week. I'm purchasing a 2017 Prime Time Sanibel. My issue is that the bed rails on my truck are 61", and the bottom of the nose of the fifth wheel is also 61". I've never owned a fifth wheel before so I'm not really sure how its going to work out pulling it. I figure that ill allow the truck to drop 2" when the weight of the 5er is hooked up, and then if I tow the trailer with the front end about 3" higher than the rear, ill have 5" of clearance between the rails and the nose. Is 5" enough? And is the front of the 5er being 3" higher than the rear gonna be a big issue? The trailer is 43' long so I'm assuming that a 3" difference between the front and the back wont be all that noticeable. And I cant go any smaller in tire size because I have 4:56 gears in the truck. I'm already at 2,300 RPMs at 70mph. I don't wanna limit my top end even more by reducing the tire diameter, so I gotta make this work
