Pin Box Adjustment and Trailer Leveling???
My current setup has my trailer slightly nose-high. When I measure the clearance between my trailer and the bed rails I am right about 6 inches by the tailgate and the front of the trailer nose is ab...

My truck is a 2018 Ram. I will have to look to see if it does have blocks in the rear.
I guess what I am really unsure about is how moving the pin box will affect the height above the rails in the back, given the cantilever effect.
Given that the trailer will pivot at the wheels as if it were a fulcrum, I wonder what the effect of raising the pin box would be in terms of the effect on the height above the rails near the hitch and pin box, and the height above the rails at the tailgate.
I would imagine that that vast majority of the affect will be at the nose of the trailer, while reducing the clearance above the rails at the tailgate only very minimally. But I have not tested this theory.
I am sure there is a way to figure this out with geometry somehow
