Need favor, 2005 3500-hitch height?

Will not be able to pick up my truck till the July 5th, and it will be on the way down the road. Going to be dropping one truck, and hooking her up to tow other on flat deck trailer. Problem is my deck height is way up there with the tongue. Need to make some adjustments real quick; can any one help me please?

2005 3500 SRW Quad cab SLT 4x4. With the Michelins...

Again, thank you..

Hope this helps.

20" to the bottom of the reciever tube.

But.... I have 315s they are about 34" tall. Not sure how tall the factory tires are, I would guess about 29". If so a stock truck reciever should be 2.5" lower or about 17.5".

Should get you in the ballpark (if I guessed close on the stock tire)
