Nose high

This was my first outing with new FW and needed to check how level when hooked up. My rig is 41 ft long and I am three inches high in front. Should I be concerned? Hitch is properly set for tv clearance so cannot adjust there. If I go back to stock tires on tv I can lower truck 1.6 inches. What do you guys think. Leave as it is or go back to stock tv tires? The truck looks way better with 315 tires than the stock little ones

Not enough to worry about, IMO, Rock. =If= you have the means to raise the FW at some point down the road, do it then, but for now, you should be golden. (I'm thinking a Correct Track alignment system, which gives you about 2" lift on your FW.) I'd rather tow 3" nose high and have the better tires. My D'max is spec'd for 245's, which puts the tires below the RAWR. By going to 265's, I'm about 500-600 lbs over the RAWR, which is more important than the RAWR, IMO.

Take a 6 foot level inside. Place it front to back above the axles. Now lift the back until it is level. The distance between the floor and the level is how much difference you have between your two axles. I would be surprised if it is more than 1/2 an inch. With something like an equiflex suspension it should be virtually no difference in axle weights.

To be sure you could scale each axle to find the difference.

Can you lower the hitch or raise the pin box?
My fiver came originally with MorRyde CRE 3000 equalizers which I replaced with Dexter EZ-Flex which lowered my fiver about an inch. After 7000 miles, I went back to MorRyde CRE 3000 and that helped to level mine.
