2016 ram-pucks-3120 hitch height ?

[hemiallen]

I have a 2016 ram 2500 with the factory puck system, and am trying to figure out if the Curt 20 series is tall enough. My BIL has his 2020 Ram 2500 / b&w set at 17 3/4 above the bed to get his trailer level, but every trailer can make a difference, and I am not sure of his rail clearance. All Curt could tell me is, no we don't have a taller hitch. I am leaning towards the B&W due to it's higher ability, plus I see it can have the pin hole move back behind the axle center ( but realize centered is better for the truck).

My truck does have an extra inch higher than factory due to taller tires. I also see the Curt I can use is maxed out at 17". I am sure it is ok, but it looks weaker being the side "wings" were not, IMHO, designed for the top pattern due to marginal side contact with the head assembly.

I am wanting a minimum of 6" bed clearance, more is better if the trailer is level. Curious if those having this truck-trailer combo are wanting a taller hitch than 17", or is this combo working well for you?

I searched several pages plus used the search feature, with no real help with my questions.

Thank you

Allen
