what kind of 5th wheel do you have? you are only allowed 13'6" total height. including A/C. if you flip the axles that will give you 4" extra lift on the unit.

I pulled mine quite a bit this summer and it pulls great my trailer has a 4" lift in it and it is 12' 10". I don't notice any sway. Check out the pic in second link.

Here's a pic of my old truck with a 4" rancho lift on 325/65/18 ATZ Mickey Thompsons,they rubbed a bit. I pulled a 32' forest river with mine and never had a problem.A few years ago I was coming back from Canmore and we where just outside of Red Deer when a big gust of wind hit us,the wind hit so hard that it took windows out of the trailer and just about rolled the truck and trailer. If I had anymore lift than the 4" I think she would have rolled. Just taller the truck the higher the center of gravity.
