The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 is a great option for a 1996 Chevrolet C3500. It can be adjusted from 13.5"-17" above the truck bed. There can be another inch added as well for the rails, the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP30035. If this won't get the trailer level my best advice would be to lower the trailer accordingly. There's not much more adjustment you'll get out of the hitch.
