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?

No, that doesn't consider the surface you are parked on. Best to measure and record the empty truck fender opening height at each wheel, then compare that with the loaded measurements. Of course you might want to bring the rear down more than the front.
With a 4' level, you could check the surface, then compare to the bed rail. :B
