Is 6" enough?? With my 38' enclosed I had 6" of bed rail clearance but still dinged the bed in 3 places, 3 times. I have since raised the clearance to about 7.5"+ and no problems. Adjusted the gooseneck about 2" and switched from 15" to 16" wheels with heavier, larger diameter tires gaining 1.2" total @ the wheels.
Or is the problem more from tight turns on slopes and hills of southern Ohio and Ky. and Tn.?? bob.........
