Location: White Pine, TN		Richard is correct, we get nervous with anything less than 7, preferrable 8 or 9 and then you may have to add a ramp at the back.

Just did this on a '07 Bison with Dexter Axles. Are Ready made blocks to do this but only to 3+ Inches. Adjusting the Coupler will be another avenue to look into.
