Finally got around to hooking it up. Will probably take it out in a couple of weeks.
All in all I think it looks pretty good. I just do have 6" of bed clearance. Drive way has a down hill slope. Trailer looks pretty level.
I had a lot more bed clearance on the 08 but hopefully this will work.
How many gallons is your RDS aux fuel tank? Is that one for a different application? I notice it's narrower than your bed. I had an RDS tank in my old truck (53 gallon w/toolbox on top) and looking to get another one.
Which bed cover do you have? Would you mind posting pics of it open & closed?

Truck and 5th Wheel Trailer look great!
Do you know what the tongue weight of your trailer as loaded in the picture? What is the measurement from ground to the top of the bed rail when it has the tongue weight on the truck? Do you have your aux tank full in this picture? What setting do you have your B&W Companion hitch set at?
If you have another adjustment on the B&W that would make the trailer perfectly level and give a hair more bed rail clearance.
That's what I was thinking also. The first picture seems to show that the fifth wheel is slightly nose down. Raising the hitch height could help the bed clearance and level the trailer.
Could be an optical illusion that the trailer is nose down. It looks like its going down a hill. If it was nose down, would'nt the bed rail clearance be uneven? Less in the front and more at the rear of the bed? It looks pretty even.
