Getting 5er and truck level with each other.

Not sure if this is feasible on your Dodge but, on my truck ('07 Silverado) I installed longer spring shackles to lower the ride height at the rear. This gave me almost three extra inches of clearance between top of rails and bottom of fiver, and, more importantly, made the trailer ride level.

Yes if the spacers are installed correctly using heavier u-bolts. Been there done that on 2 toy haulers. I wouldn't go with more than a 2in spacer though.

I feel like they lowered the floor in the bedroom above the bed of the pickup to give more headroom in the bedroom. That's the difference. But I could be wrong.

Not wise or advisable.

My 08 GMC is stock and I have the exact same issue, axles already flipped. I don't get how low they are now. Mine is at the dealer now seeing if they can add a couple inches to the springs to get it close to level.

Fabeicating, welding, jacking, bolting. Im not trying to be a smart A@@, but to do it correctly you need to support the trailer, remove all of the running gear, cut off the spring hangers, weld a piece of 4X4 box tubing to the frame. Install all new spring hangers, reinstal the running gear. This is normally NOT a DIY project since it requires a lot of fitting, and welding and precise measurements to ensure the trailer tracks true when done. So first I would crawl under and have a good look. See if there are additional holes in the spring hangers. Mine had them, so it was pretty eady to raise mine 2 inches at the axles.

Stupid question but what would that entail exactly?

Npt totally uncommon. Unless your spring hangers have adjusting holes your only solution might be to add a sub frame.
