lift kit with gooseneck trailer??

I have a total of 5" of lift on my truck in the front and about 3.5"-4" in the rear so that my truck sits level. Here are multiple pics of me pulling different gooseneck trailers. I do have to be very careful when I am offroad though and even sometimes on highways. All depends on how the road is. I never pull w/ my tailgate on though just so that I can be on the safe side.

I have to be EXTREMELY careful if I am sitting on a hill at a stop sign or stop light and the road that I am turning left/right onto is flat or slants the opposite way of the way I am currently at. If I am not careful when the rear of my truck starts raising up on the road and the trailer is still down on the hill it wants to put it in a pinch.

This has A LOT to do with the perticular road that I am talking about though cause my uncle has the exact same problem w/ his stock dodge.

It also will depend on how your trailer is made and how much room you have between the top of bed and trailer now.
 
A lot has to deal w/ how the trailer is set up. You can extend the neck down so that it wont be close to your bed rails but in return it lowers the rear of the trailer.

Usually there is no such thing as "rubbing" on the bed... it either smashes it or it doesn't. I have been that route also one morning when I was in a hurry
 
yeah if you do a lot of hauling you would be better off. unless you wanted to flip the the leafs from the bottom to the top of the axle.
