    My experience was mostly between FLs and Volvos. Never had a height issue.

    One time I took the bolt out to get it off.

    With the added benefit of wiping all the grease off his 5th wheel. No need to leave it an inch off the ground as long as the trailer air ride is dumped. Lightly touching the ground is fine imo. That being said l have a high 5th wheel so I'm biased lol
