What action did you take to leveled the trailer?? As I have wrote before I am not sure how to level the trailer and maintain the 6" bedrail clearance without changing the truck or trailer suspension.
AFAIK, that's about all you can do. =Some= trucks have lift blocks in the suspension that can be removed to gain a couple inches, but you'd have to research that. If your FW doesn't have the springs over the axles, it's not a huge deal to do it, or have it done. It's also a great time to add a full wet bolt kit. This includes greaseable shackle bolts, heavier shackles and new bronze bushings to replace the cheap plastic ones installed at the factory. Another option to add would be a flexible equalizer. Look at Cummins' post, where he scaled 1400 lbs' difference between the axles. That is =huge=, as well as very surprising, and has nothing to do with loading. Just the geometry of his FW's suspension.
One other thing that people haven't mentioned is that, if you have a propane fridge, and you run with it on, being that far out of level can destroy the cooling system. They must be run within a couple degrees of level or you risk damaging it.
