I have a 2008 Dodge RAM 2500HD Magcab with the 6.7 Cummins diesel. Before I put my 342PHT Mountaineer fifth in the back the rear sits at 11.5 inches between the wheel well and the top of the tire in the back and 9" in the front. When I put the fifth on the rear goes down to 8.5" and the front goes up to 10.5". This brings me to my question. What products are out there that will help level out the vehicle when towing or is this slight imbalance a real big issue. My concern is MPG I currently get about 10.5 mpg but have been told I should be getting around 13 mpg. Any suggestions?
