You can flip the axles on the trailer itself but we all know what a higher trailer means...

I think ebay is the best place for fuzion toy haulers. You can search many kind of toy haulers and dodge rams. Check this for detail toy hauler, buy and sell RVs and Campers, fuzion on eBay Motors

You can "flip" the trailer axles but it will still ride "nose" high.Possibly overloading the rear trailer axle.

I at first was looking at fuzion toy haulers and they already run the leafs on top of the axles so adding lift to the trailer will need to be done with a sub frame between the leaf hangers and frame of the trailer. I have seen this done many times but never done it myself, sorry. I say it's a great toy hauler but you may need to do some good size mods or lower the truck. You can see my set up in my sig.

I'm looking to get a fifth wheel toyhauler soon, too. I plan to remove the bed and add some aluminum semi-style fenders over the rear tires (and add some generic lights). That way I cut the weight off the rear and don't have to worry about the rail height of the bed interfering with the trailer. Thought about a flat bed, but the weight stays and I don't want a flat bed all the time...
