We have just want you need to get more clearance between the cab of your 2015 Ram 2500 and 2015 Cougar 5th wheel trailer. If your trailer and Lippert 1621 pin box are rated under 16,000 pounds gross trailer weight then you can use Sidewinder pin box # RP61422. If it is rated over 16K but less than 20K then you can use # RP34FR.
The Sidewinders do not allow the trailer to pivot at the hitch. Instead they lock out at the hitch and move the pivot point back 22 inches so the trailer rotates further away from the truck giving you the clearance you need! I have linked some videos and a help article on Sidewinders for you.
