Trailer lift kit?

Just purchased a Work&Play from Forrest River. I pull with the 99 dually in 'off-road' situations and with the 5th wheel box clearance can be an issue. On my old trailer, I simply had the axles flipped over the spring for about a 4" lift.... worked great. The new trailer apparently has torsion bars and flipping axels is not an option. Has anyone ever put air bags on a trailer for a lift? Is anyone familiar with this trailer model? Can you crank up the torsion bars like a pickup for an extra bit of clearance?
