Red face Raising front of trailer

I have a 4x4 camper and was wandering if there is a hitch goose neck that can raise the front of the trailer when pulled by a standard car like a commodor?

Yep, although may have to get custom made. If its the hayman reese style may be able to turn it upside down to lift it.

yeh hayman Reese style will have a look around the one I have on my Jeep Jk has a very small step, I need one that has a step down by about 3-4 inchs so I can turn it around to get the right amount of lift when i turn it around.

You can get adjustable height hitches but they are exxy......
(note this is a US site)

I've seen Waveboarding boats (malibu's etc) towed by Ftrucks with this style of hitch, no reason it cant be used to raise as well as lower tow point.

Or you can measure how far you need to raise the tow point, and buy a fixed drop / raise gooseneck.

I think getting the simplest is the best and it wont be hard to redill the pin hole to get around bumpers and stuff.
