I figured I'd get raked over the coals as soon as I posted pics for having a 2500. Let's leave that topic for when I actually go and weigh it. There's plenty of 2500's pulling way heavier than me.
Mine has no front slide over the bed and for reference, yes I do have air bags and I had 5 lbs in them when these pics were taken, which is the minimum. Truck sat surprising level. Per the yellow sticker I came home at 13000 lbs full of propane and 42 gallons of gas AND including a Onan 5500 in the belly. So pin should be somewhere around 2700lbs, figuring 22%.
Loaded RAWR WITH hitch was 3400, so I brought it home at roughly 6100lbs on the rear axle. (guessing of course). Yes I understand that's empty but we're not loading 4000lbs of **** in it this weekend either.
You will not get that level with hitch or king pin settings. You would be down on the truck bed. Time to do some overall height measurement and have a sub-frame added to the trailer to level it, iF you can stay under 13'6".
Tow the trailer up onto boards until it is level. Measure bed clearance and adjust down to 8" and repeat leveling the trailer on boards. When you are at 8" clearance and level, then measure over all height. If ok on the 13'6" measurement, go have a sub-frame installed the size of the boards you are on.
