So I take it adding a longer mattress is the easiest option. Has anyone added some type of spacer (foam, wood/foam) at the head?

some trailers may have a king size option you could get
As far as the truck, looks like my rig has a GCWR of 13,700 and the FW is listed at 13,243. Should be OK, right? As long as I'm below I shouldn't have any issues, right? Will I find mountains to be a problem or I suppose that's more dependent on the engine.
GCWR includes the truck and trailer. Your number sounds small unless it's maybe for a gas truck vs. diesel. I'd recheck your info. Make sure you're looking at 5th wheel trailer limits and not limits for pull trailers.
Thanks for your input.
