There is only 4 1/2" of wheel well clearance from top of tire so changing to 16" wheels won't work.

Thats a lot of top clearance for a std leaf spring trailer suspension. My current 5th wheel trailer/5200 ln leaf spring axles, has 2 3/4" to 3" top of tire clearance.
Also every 5th wheel rv trailer I've owned (3) had 5"-6" of clearance which was plenty unless your boon dockin in the back country.
2" out of level front to rear in 30' isn't much. I would make a couple of trips and then I would decide if any leveling or changes in the trailer front to rear attitude needs help.

I agree, I'm just used to not having to look back at the trailer when I go into weird places (I don't do any boondocking), but probably 6" and a little caution is all that is needed.

Your tire clearance sure seems short. I'm guessing you have checked for rubbing on the wheel well.

I had originally planned on converting any new trailer to 16" wheels, as I did on my current, so I could get LT tires. With some of the newer 15" tires available I really don't want to have to use that option to lift the trailer.
