By the way, I have a Trail Air pin box. The bottom plate on mine does not slide, which was another source of my confusion..
You can replace the lower jaw with the TriGlide portion. It will lower the kingpin plate and in turn raise the front of the RV. Then the hitch should be lowered or raise the kingpin where it's bolted to the frame.

Mark Bruss,
Can you elaborate more on your statement: " but many of the heavier trailers (like DRV) are near the limits for the pin box."
