Unfortunately, the pickups are not made for the average RV'er, made for the work crowd that want/need the bed capacity.

My new truck is a bit lower, but the uneven terrain thing is still an issue.

3" would be better. I ordered ours before the 2" riser was standard, $200 option at the time. And DRV would not allow the order to be 3".

If you don't know it, you can lower the IS shear springs 1", pushing the trailer up 1".

The bolt holes are already in the mounting plate.
