if its the one that has gas assist struts and raises and lowers by hand, i would get some wooden block cut in the size you want to raise it
set them on the front and rear lower mounting pads and make sure the geometry will work in this configuration. at this point you might get by, fastening the block to the pad.
if it works but you still need to move pad up, leave the bed hang on the top pads and brace the back of the bed with something to keep it from falling.
you should be able to move the lower pad up now. i think the rear lower stop pad is welded to the back door frame. you might get away with leaving the angel iron that the struts mount to in place. the struts just won't have to collapse as far when lowering now. going from memory as my trailer is in storage and can't look at it
ours was broken and jammed up when we got it. trust me, you don't want to take it up down or out of the trailer with out it attached to mounts or 4 strong lads on each corner. even with the mattress out and frame empty it is unwieldy and hard to handle
