Patti -

I would avoid the roller on the bumper and/or frame.

It will indeed clear more but the added weight on the frame may cause the 
frame to flex and the body to buckle.

Remember adding the rollers is going to lower the clearance and cause the 
trailer to be lifted on the rollers.
You could have you body warped as a result.

I'd check with the factory on adding those.

My 34' Limited has body buckling caused by the bumper/rear frame dragging 
on the pavement.  The factory was against the rollers as it would only 
accentuate the problem.  Instead they advised I be watchful and go slow in 
those areas where clearance could be a problem, like gas stations, Mc 
Donald's lots, etc.
