Has anyone lowered the truck bed on a 2014 ram 2500 4x4?

My 2014 Ram 2500 cummins 4x4 sets too high in the back to be able to level the 5th wheel. The 5th wheel is a 2009 cruiser. The springs are on atop of the axles.

Go to a spring shop and they can either remove one or 2 leafs or de-arch the springs to make it sit a bit lower

Are there spacer blocks between the axle and leaf spring?
I removed the 1.5" spacers on my 1/2 ton Silverado 4x4 to level it.

I have the same problem with my 2018 RAM 2500. These trucks are equipped with rear coil springs. Sure would like to find a modified coil to (at least) lower the rear bumper the same height as the front.
