Recommendation for Improved Cab Clearance on 2021 Ram 2500
Question:
Good morning, I’m currently running the Anderson Ultimate hitch to pull my 39’10” Puma Extreme with my 2021 Ram 2500 4x4 Crew cab 6’4” bed with the frame mounted BandW turnover gooseneck ball. I love the Anderson but almost kissed the cab the other day. Do you have any products or solutions that would allow me to keep using this hitch setup that would also allow me to get that full 90 degree turn with my shortened so I don’t risk damaging either my truck or RV? I don’t have a puck system and I don’t want to bolt the metal rails to my bed floor. I’m open to other solutions. I don’t want to spend the money this time only to be unhappy and be back at square one so I figured I reach out to the professionals.
