here's a picture I just took over lunch and some numbers - this is with 5PSI in the airbags for now. FW is loaded and more or less camp ready. I may be able to lower the pin box another 1".
Bedside to underside of FW - 8"
Front wheelwell - 39" (38.5" unloaded)
Rear wheelwell - 39.5" (41" unloaded)
Front of FW - 25.75"
Rear of FW - 23.25"
so in total its 2.5" high on the front.
If you haven't yet moved the spring bolts, I'd say you're good to go. Moving the spring bolts will make you a touch more level...if you want to go to the effort to do so. My recommendation still stands, that if you're going to move the spring attachment, install wet bolts all around.

who's wet bolt setup would you recommend? i'll get some installed regardless when I get my new Maxxis tires next spring to replace the china bombs ( I figured it wasn't worth replacing the tires now to have them sit there all winter, may as well sit on the china bombs).
I went with the MorRyde wet bolt kit . Its a nice kit with the heavy duty shackles . I only wish I could get my fifth wheel as level as yours. The new Rams sit much higher then most of the older trucks.
I have adjusted all I can with hitch ,and pin box , and sill have adequate clearance with the bed. My only option now is like you either raise the fifth or live with it. After a couple thousand miles my setup seems fine. I can't see where you will have any issues.
It seems these days with the newer trucks a lot of the fifth wheels in tow are just a bit nose high, especially the older fifth wheel. Enjoy your new rig.
