    When I had a 5th wheel and MDT International I had a Trailer Saver air hitch that allowed me to raise and lower the pin height easily. There was a few times that made a difference in how close to touching the fruck bed the trailer came, allowing us to get into that spot without damage. Without a air hitch your probably going to need a spotter walking along side the truck watching to ensure you are clear of the bed. Without trying how are you going to know?
