06 Quad cab with 35's to high for a 5th wheel?

Have a Reese slider in my truck but a little worried about how high the truck sets with 35's. Anyone have pics with a similar setup hooked up to a 5th wheel travel trailer?

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

It works for my fiver. Had to raise the fiver pin to it's highest position and the hitch to it's second lowest, but my fiver sits level. Also have Carli springs which in turn raised the rear end a bit.

Hook it up and see if you still have at least 5" clearance between the bottem of the 5vr and the top of the bed rails. If the 5vr is still level and you still have atleast 5" of clearance then "Don't Worry Be Happy". Now if yo don't then you may need to have an axle flip done on the 5vr. If that is too much for you then put on smaller tires when towing

I don't have any pictures for you but it works with my 5er. Most of this will be dependant on how high your 5er sits. Mine just happens to be fairly high and works fine with my truck. I used to let the weight of the 5er push the bed of the truck down. I thought that this would be OK as with the weight on the truck the trailer sat fairly level, but the truck did not handle well with the nose in the air. I put the air bags on and leveled it back out and it works much better. If I move the 5er this weekend I'll try to remember to snap a couple of pics.
