Bedrail clearance

That is a good question. The bedrail clearance on my '08 Chevy is tight even after I had the trailer "tubed"* to raise it two inches. The trucks seem to get higher every year.

I had planned to put a higher riser in for the Trailersaver hitch but decided to stay with the one I had and be careful. If I get in a tight spot I can add air to the hitch to raise the head about 3 inches. Have had to do that about 3 times in 3 years.

*tubed - Mor/Ryde term for welding a square steel tube between frame and axles prior to installing IS axles. They have several sizes depending on need to level the whole rig.
