We likely have what you need to lift your gooseneck trailers, but please note that often times a lift kit will make the capacity of the truck unknown. You can contact the manufacturer of your lift and see if they have any weight ratings.

The other issue is that with the lifted truck you may find that you will have some issues getting the trailer level. Some gooseneck trailers have a height adjustable coupler to help compensate. But with the size of your lift, you would need to lift the trailer still as well.

The correct lift kit is going to depend on what axle you have on your trailer(s). The Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 (for 2-3/8" diameter axles) and # K71-385-00 (for 3" diameter axles) would flip the springs to the top of the axle, providing a lift approximately the same height as your axle. This would then allow you to use the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # LC87120 for an additional 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" of lift.

If after you do the lift kit you do not have the proper level and need an adjusting coupler. You can use the B&W Defender Locking Gooseneck Coupler # BWGNC4251, which would allow you to adjust your coupler up to get more level.

These are options that work for trailers with double eye leaf springs, if your trailer(s) have a different style of axle/spring and you let me know what you have then I can make a recommendation for what you have.
