Clearance problems

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 and 33’ trailer. I have right at 6.5 inches of clearance between the top of the truck bed rails and the bottom of the trailer. The trailer is riding nose high (not too bad though) but my biggest concern is that my rear jacks aren’t very high off the ground and I figure it is just a matter of time before I drag them. Very nervous about tearing something up. I have looked and it does not appear that I can raise the jacks any higher on the frame. What other options do I have?

  • Pull the FW on to some lumber until it's level or not as low in back. Measure the lumber and you know how much lift you need and then explore which options you have to lift it.

    Shackles, axle truing kit, axle flip, tires, sub frame etc.
