I got to look at the adapter. it is a OEM PUCK SYSTEM 5TH WHEEL ROLLER ADAPTER FOR RAM 16022e . The hitch assembly pins to it. Those pins are tough to insert,especially the front ones. If you plan to remove the hitch after install, and if you have the ability I would recommend taking the king pin receiver off separate and lift the adapter and the hitch out together to avoid removing the previously mentioned pins, Set in on the tailgate and disassemble/assemble it there. Much easier.
Best measurement I could get for the tailgate to the ground was 39.25 inches empty,no trailer.
Hope this helps.
