As you know, the bighorns themselves set fairly high up, and there isn't much I could do to raise the trailer itself easily.
We have similar trucks and my Big Horn is a larger model. It is pretty level. There is a mod you can do to the rear springs by moving the spacer to the other side of the spring pack. It creates a bit of a problem with the removal of the pin/bolts in the disc brakes, however that does not have to be done that often. Chris
We went with the 3270 bighorn as it was the best compromise we could find between what the DW likes and wants, and what I prefer. I like forest service type campgrounds, boondocking etc. where small is great. The wife would prefer something 3000 square feet or larger :) She has decided this rig works for her though so we're getting good use out of it
As for lowering the truck, I'll have to look into that more. I have the factory air suspension in the rear, so it doesn't drop at all when I hook up other than an inch or so if I select the alternate trailer height setting. The air bags will probably complicate things. Initially I was only slightly nose high. Unfortunately, the new pin box raises things a couple inches, it's not exactly the same as the 1621 dimension wise. I'm currently looking for a good trailer shop to install a hitch on the back of the bighorn so I can tow my side by side. Maybe I'll explore options on raising the trailer a couple inches, but I'll have to watch total height being as how I'm already over 13ft.
