I tow our 35 foot 5th wheel with the tailgate on the truck. The remote tailgate release and camera make it a one person job.

No, but watch the breakover angles when going in and out of driveways and such. Unless you got extra height added to the risers when your trailer was built it may be a little close. That will give you more clearance over the bed as well as make it where the trailer doesn't ride nose high. You should be fine with stock tires and suspension. Here's mine.

When I built mine I gave it a nice high rise because I do a fare amount of off road with it. some of the fields I haul out of have a substantial dip or hill getting back onto the road.
