Checking Truck For Level?
Is it safe to assume that putting a level on the truck bed rail when loaded would indicate how level the overall truck is riding?

Yeah.... I'm kind of in favor of this method. I guess the question is what is trying to be achieved by having the TV perfectly level? I understand the 5th to TV and bed rail clearance but I can't see a problem with a TV being a few degrees one way or another off level. Certainly, the trustworthy eyeball test Cummins eludes to should be close enough.
I agree about the bed clearance and the FW towing level. However, you want to also avoid excessive squating on the TV when loaded. I have always been told that when towing from the bumper hitch that excessive squat puts a strain on the drive shaft and cause major problems. I just assume the same would be true when towing a FW.
