Gary,

 

They...the dealer...wanted me to lower the GN part only.  Not the entire bed.  That's why in one of my previous posts I said the clearance of the GN on the trailer would have only been about 4 inches from the rest of the bed.  It was crazy.

 

I'm happy with what I have and the manufacturer who did it for me to fit this truck and any other truck out there.

I don't remember reading how much lower the bed of the truck needed to be but if it only needed a few inches my first thought was to load the truck with ~2000 lbs of sand bags.

If the front of your gooseneck trailer is too high when you attach it to
your truck bed, there are only three ways you can level ANY gooseneck
trailer:

1) you can lower the front of the trailer (lower the gooseneck, which
you said you don't want to do)
2) you can raise the back of the trailer (lift the trailer, which you
have also said you don't want to do)
3) you can lower the bed of your truck (which I think you also said you
don't want to/or can't do, especially since this might mean "get a
different truck" :)).

If you don't want to do any of these three things, the ONLY option you
have left is to not level the trailer.
