5th wheel issues?

[ryanl]

Just picked up a 2500 zr2. Is the height causing any problem pulling 5th wheels? Or is it not tall enough to be an issue? Let me know what you have done or what you have seen!

It's just the way it goes with 5th wheels and goosenecks. It all depends on the pin height with the trailer level. If your trailer sits to low and you have clearance to go up. -13'.6" You could always flip your axles. That's the easiest cheapest way. Typically you want the bed rails to have a min of 5" of clearance.

Lifted trucks suck for 5th wheels. The ZR2 bed rail height is the same as previous model 2500HDs with a 6 inch lift. You'll taco the bed rails if you don't have enough clearance on uneven ground. I see crunched rails all the time around here.

Some 5er hitches sit taller and can give you more clearance. Depends how tall it sits over the axles to some degree if you want a level trailer.
