I've been following a thread of pictures of lifted trucks towing 5r's. There are some nice set ups on there and they have given tere amount of lift and tire size info but nobody states their bed hieght/ I have and 8" Fabtech lift w. 37s on my 08 GMC and the bed hieght is 62". We really want a fifthwheel and I know it can be done but I'm wondering if flipping the axles is going to get it high enuough? So can anyone towing their 5r w/ a lifted truck tell me their bed hieght and how they made it work?
Any info will be greatly appreciated...

I have a 8" lift but downsized to 35's... easier on the truck..towed my gearbox 5er no problems....I was told by the dealer that if you put both your fists longways between the bed and 5er your ok..any less than that and you may rub...
