It was 7 in high before I raised the Kingpin to the highest possible level. I am measuring from the bottom skirt on the FW front and back. I used a level when unhooked and this seemed to be a pretty constant place to measure from.
I really don't want to raise the FW because of the outside kitchen. This is why I'm going with the hitch/ pin area first.
The Andersen hitch is at 16.25 at the lowest setting. This combined with the pin at the highest setting gives me just over 8 inches clearance between FW and truck bed rails and just over 4 inches nose high.
I understand I may end up adjusting trailer suspension to get the rear up, but I want to get as much out of the front as I can.
The Andersen for the flat bed is a good option, but I'm waiting to talk to Mor Ryde to see if their kingpin is actually thicker than a static one. Also, Andersen doesn't recommend using a dampener in the Kingpin with their set up. If my theory is correct, this would get me another 3 inches down in the front.
