Pinbox

I have 2018 Ram 3500 with a B&W patriot hitch. My 3120 Montana sits to high in the front.
I have the hitch in the lowest setting. There is about 10-12 inches clearance between trailer and truck.
I could move my Road armour pin box up 1 hole which is about 3 inches.
My other alternative is to replace my pin box with a Morryde pin box which I have read good reviews about.
My question would be will that pin box make my front of the trailer ride high?

I would try the no cost approach first by moving the existing pin box up. A Morryde may not give you any more adjustability than what you already have. If your ram is a SRW, those do sit high. I had to put spacer blocks between the springs and axle on the trailer to get the ride height I wanted.

I had to do the same on my Chevy. I moved the pin box to it's highest setting, and put 2" blocks on my trailer axles. All level now. I used a ladder laying in my pickup bed to cradle the pin box, while I unbolted it. Using the front levelers, I was able to adjust the height and re-bolt the pin box to its highest setting.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I plan to put Air bags on the truck, wouldn't that raise the front of the trailer even more?
