    Spook to a salvage yard today, guy told me a low profile fifth wheel and labor $450. So sounds like a dealer to me, rather then having to remove those bolts haha.

    That should work great. 11r22s basically the same as 24.5 lopris. What’s the verdict? 47”?

    haven't measured the height yet because as soon as I was done had to take the truck back to get that rusty fifth wheel that I put on to get painted. But I will update you guys with height

    Check that rusty fifth wheel for slop, might need adjustment, or be wore out, if so you can swap them back for your old plate.
