I have a 99 Dodge 2500 which sits high.  I have a 97 trailet gooseneck which sits low. I would like to lower the truck because its a problem on almost every trailer. Suggestions please???

Depending on the setup in the rear of your truck, you may be able to remove the spacer blicks underneath the axles (put them on top so you don't have to replace U-bolts.  That could hypothetically net you 1-2 inched lower in the back.  Check out the TDR (http://tdr1.com) for posts from folks who have been there, done that on the Dodge.  Other, more costly alternatives include a lowering kit for the truck or lifting the trailer.
