We " boondock" camp and need extra clearance .
I have my trailer nose a couple of inches lower than level .
But I have an HD 2500 pickup with a stiffer rear suspension .
So my pickup limits how far down the TT tongue can go .
Plus my critical drains are at the rear of the TT .
We ford a few " vados " ( gullies ) and I need the extra couple of inches height at the rear of the trailer .
The net result is that the center of gravity on the trailer is not significantly higher on the open road so the trailer handles like it is supposed to .
I also went up a tire size and this increased my clearance also by 17 /32 of an inch .
