I've got the 3/4 ton and it's fairly tall. Some folks have removed the spacers below the leaf springs in the rear since most sit high in the rear any way. They just move them from the bottom to above the axle tube, there's a writeup here: http://www.klenger.net/dodge/lowering-rear-end/slide01.html
That'll buy you about 1-1/4 inches - not a ton, but not bad for free...

I have a 2003 Dodge 3/4 T 4X4 pull a 2005 Bison 3 h LQ trailer. Yes, the clearance is close. No problems so far. I did put a pop-up hitch extender on to give more room between the tailgate and trailer. Otherwise, it was pretty tight to get my fat a$$ in there.
