Expert Reply:
The problem you have is becoming more common with the higher bed sides on trucks.
One of the most common solutions is to install an over/under kit on your axles on the fifth wheel trailer. We have two kits available I recommend. These kits move the trailer leaf springs to the top of the axle.
If you have 2-3/8 inch axles the kit I recommend is part # K71-384-00 and if you have 3-inch axles on your fifth wheel trailer the kit you need is part # K71-385-00.
