I'll measure again next time I hook up. I know the front has to be dropped from 31 inches off the ground down to 23-24 or so to make it level after unhooking.

I must be missing something. If when hooked up the pin is 7-8" higher hooked up compared to when the trailer is level, the last picture is somehow creating the illusion it's level. 7-8" nose high would normally be pretty obvious in pictures but the last picture looks pretty close to level.
A shorter pin box might work for the bed rail issue. I suggest going out to a big parking lot and jackknifing the trailer at various angles to see how much clearance you have to the rear bumper (have someone slowly jackknife it while you watch for the point it is closest to hitting). Then measure how much clearance you currently have. That will give you an idea how much you can cut down.
