I ended up ordering a 6” taller neck on my gooseneck equipment trailer. I need about 12” of bed rail clearance to avoid issues with all the hills and weird road transitions around me. Worst is coming to the top of a steep hill and turning onto a perpendicular road that runs along the top of the ridge. Trailer is still coming up the hill as the truck is turning onto the flat ridge road. Bed rail clearance disappears quickly. I’m amazed at guys on the forum that are happy with 4-6 inches of bed rail clearance but they must have much flatter terrain.
