hi ya'll
the wife and i are proud owners of an 2010 dodge one ton. so as new truck owners we had the curt hitch from one installed on the new one. question?? when we lowered the fifth on to the hitch and after all creeking and cracking the bottom of the fifth and the truck rails were only 4.5 " . So,we took the truck to Holiday World in Katy Tx. They told us it should be at least 6in from the bedrails to bottom of rig. They raised the hitch up one hole. Now we have 6in plus from the rail to the rig. However, when we put a level inside the rig on the floor it appears the rig is not level. We have not even put any weight in the garage. Which would be about 1600lbs (two bikes). Therefore, the garage has all the weight and would be putting all the weight on the back tire. Do any of you think we should have not raised the hitch?
