If you are talking about a 5th wheel trailer then there are a few ways that you can tow it level. First, most all 5th wheel hitches are height adjustable by unbolting the head and moving it up or down as needed.

Also on most 5th wheel trailers you can move the pin box up or down as needed. With these 2 places of adjustability you should be able to get a more level ride. However, you also need 5 or 6 inches from the tops of the bed rails to the bottom of the trailer overhang.

Another way to add more height to the 5th wheel trailer is to use an over/under conversion kit. To use one of these kits the trailer must use double-eye spring suspension and the leaf spring stack must be currently mounted below the axle. For a 2-3/8 inch round axle you could use kit # K71-384-00. For a 3 inch round axle you would use # K71-385-00. One kit is needed per axle.
