Question:

I have a leveled 2016 F350 and a 2021 volante 5th wheel, my trailer rides nose high and there is only about 3-5” of clearance on my bed rail and the 5th wheel. At this point I think I need to lift my trailer a couple inches so that it rides level and has better clearance at the bed rail. Is there a particular product you could recommend for this?

Hey Derek!

I recommend using the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit for your application because it's more cost-effective than a lot of the other options out there but it still does a fantastic job at increasing the ride height of RVs. These kits work by moving the axle from above your leaf springs to sitting under the leaf springs so you gain the height of the leaf spring stack as well as the diameter of your axle.

For a 2-3/8" Axle Diameter you need kit # K71-384-00 but for a 3" Axle Diameter you need kit # K71-385-00 instead.

If your axle is already located under your leaf springs please let me know and I'll be more than happy to make a different recommendation for you!

The trailer already has the springs on top of the axels.

@Derek The next best option is to install the Correct Track # RR23QX which can increase your trailer height by up to 2-1/4" with the right settings. If you have 5"-6" of clearance over your truck bed already then that will be enough, but if you can level out your trailer a little more it will help with your towing quality and tracking. Aside from this you're looking at having your current hangers cut off and taller ones welded on which means you need to have a qualified welder come out and work on your trailer.
