I have checked weights at the Cat scales recently and am right at my limits if lightly loaded but most of the time I am probably 500 lds +/- heavy (depending on how much water & gas I carry).

It seems like between the air bags inflated to 40 psi, the Trail Air pin box bag inflated to the proper setting, and the 20" wheels on the truck, I am going to be nose high unless some type of lift is done to the trailer. With that said, the truck tows the the FW real nice. I am not new to towing a trailer but I am relatively new to towing a FW, so any suggestions are appreciated.
Are you setting the bags to 30/40# with or without RV attached? The pressure setting should be done after hooking up the RV. My bags set at 5# empty increase to 30# with my RV attached.
When hooked up does the truck's rear sit higher than the front?
Do you have more than 6" space between the bed and RV?
