Question:
Can you air up the airbag to lift the trailer temporarily. I have a steep driveway and my truck bed makes contact with the underside of the fifth wheel overhang. I am looking for a solution to lift the front of the trailer an inch or 2 so I have more room pulling in and out of the driveway. Then return it to level once out on the road.

Expert Reply:
Hey Jon, so the Shocker hitch part # SHK55MR is going to move more front to back than up and down with pressure changes so it won't be your most ideal solution. Instead I would recommend going with the Correct Track lift kit part # RR23QX which will give your trailer suspension a lift of 2-1/4 inches and will help alot with the ground clearance.
