Can someone take a photo I need of a 303RLS
I'm wondering if someone wouldn't mind crawling under there 2015 or newer 303rls and snap a photo for me of the suspension. I'd like to see how the axles are mounted and the entire suspension system is so I can compare it to a 2014 I'm looking at. Thanks.

GDRV suspension is all the same. Axles under double eye springs with equalizers in the center.
In mid-2016, a 2" square tube was added between the frame rail and the suspension attachments on the 303 to gain ride height. (The one you are looking at will not have this spacer.Cate & Rob

Wow the internet is awesome. Thanks for the photos. Reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at buying a 2014 and it doesn't have the 2" blocks. Also my truck is lifted with 295 tires so I'll most likely have to have the trailer suspension cut off and have it lifted 2-4". I did notice the Pin box is adjustable also. That's nice also.
Here is the trailer suspension from the 2014 I'm looking at
And a photo of my truck
And from the top of the truck Bed to the ground I'm right at 5ft. Do you think it will work without raising the trailer?

It may. My 2015 Ram sits right at 59". However, my 2017 303 has the subframe from the factory and sits higher. I just don't know how you're truck is gonna like the pin weight of the 303 loaded which should be around 2000- or + a little with the lift kit. Good looking truck BTW!

Fireman - just measured my 2012 silverado and top of tailgate is just shy of 58". The generation of gm 2500/3500 p/u starting in 2011 sat higher particularly in the rear. You can see how we tow our 2014 303 in my picture.....nose is a bit high but not too much to be a concern. Our p/u drops about 2.5" at the rear axle when hitched up.

Fireman - the answer to your question is easy You have the truck and access to the 5th wheel you are considering. Have the dealer/seller set the trailer on your truck with wooden blocking under the pin to achieve adequate clearance to the box rails. Then, stand back and look at it.
