Can Torsion Axle Trailer be Lifted to Level It

Question:

I have a 2022 silverado 2500hd with a 32foot enclosed. I have the bed gap at 6inch like its recommended/needed but the rake in the trailer is 16inch at the bottom front edge of the trailer vs 6inch at that tail. Trailer had torsion axles on it. Is there any options to getting the trailer level?

The hitch height and pin box height should stay where it's at since you have 6 inches of clearance between the bed rails and the trailer overhang so what you'd ideally do is raise the trailer suspension or if the truck had a lift kit on it remove that.

Since your trailer has torsion springs that means the lift kit options could be limited but it depends on what the trailer has in terms of axle brand and capacity since torsion lift kits are very specific.
