Norm makes a good point -
A long bed might require more height than a short bed, as the long bed will hit before the short bed on the same angle from the axis. Also important to note how level the Montana is when hooked up. An inch or two at the pin can mean 6 or 7 inches at the tail on the 40' Montanas. You may not be able to raise the front too much without sacrificing some drag clearance in the back.
With that, our Montana Dealer used a highly technical measuring method when hooking up our new Monty to our Ford. He raised the landing gear on the Monty, stacked his two fists between the bed and Monty and grumbled - "look fine ta mee!". Considering his two fists equal about three of mine plus a 2x4, it comes out to about 7-1/2 to 8". I have never came close to hitting the belly, so I probably could get by with 6".
