Bedrail clearance

Hello, i have a question.
I have a 2020 Laredo 298srl, is there a lift kit you can purchase? It sits high in the front and I'm trying to maintain bedrail clearance.

Information on what truck you're using, the hitch mounted in it, the pinbox on your trailer would give us information on how to potentially solve your problem without going to the extreme of installing a "lift kit" on the trailer.

Also, is the truck suspension/wheels/tires OEM? A lift kit on the tow vehicle will, on many rigs, make it very difficult to impossible to get a "safe and level towing rig".

To add to John’s questions, what is your current clearance at the tailgate?’if you could post a picture of the truck and trailer would help greatly.

2021 chevy silverado 2500 4X4 OEM no lift kit
Demco highjacker autoslide adjusted to lowest setting.
Kingpin is 2 from the top (I'm not home to get the actual nems of it)
Biggest thing I'm wanting to maintain clearance with the bedrails.

Just how much clearance are you looking for? Most feel 6” is normal.

Well two things, we installed the Correct Trak system which added 2” lift at axle. You could also change to 16” tires and wheels.
