Just to give you all a good update, I pulled into a gas station and noticed that my FW is not as nose high as I though, I measured it and I'm only around 1" nose high.
Also, you guys haven't done a good enough job telling other who friggen amazing a FW tows, I did 6 hours of towing last night and all I can say is wow! It was nice and windy out, felt none of it at all and I averaged 1mpg higher than I had last month on the same trip with the old TT.

You are right, a 5th wheel tows way better than a TT. My new 5th wheel is 5000lbs heavier than my TT was and I still get better millage pulling the 5th wheel.
Whoa, there Alexleblanc!
Us 5er pullers have always stated how much better, stable, and comfortable it is to tow a 5er than a TT!!!
I go as far as I would rather see a 1/2 ton (AKA 150/1500) carrying/Pulling a 5er that puts it slightly over GVWR as Long as they have tire and axle capacity than a long TT, WAY SAFER!
Glad you love the package, and 1" is nothing to worry about!
