Same worry here. My bed rails (2010 Ram 3500 4X4 SRW crew cab 6.5' bed) are 59.5" from the ground with a 200~lb. shell mounted. The one fiver I like (GD303RLS)is 61" from ground to the underside, and it comes with the axels flipped AND a 2" spacer bar on the frame. The other, (GD 317RST), a couple of feet longer, is 59" to the underside. Pin weights would be 2000-25000 lbs. so the squat would not be as great as in the OP's case.
Another manufacturer gave me 48" as the "pin box height", which is not what I asked them. I don't think either the truck or RV companies have much of a clue.
The manufacturers will not give the OK to tow nose high and might use doing so as a reason to void a warranty if something failed.
Not sure what is the answer.
