Nose high has noting to do with hitch weight per se....it is about getting trailer level when hitched to truck
That all depends on truck height/trailer height/type of pin box and adjustments that can be made to hitch/pin box/trailer suspension
Either by raising hitch in bed of truck, lowering pin box in trailer or doing 'mods' to trailer suspension to raise trailer height.
That 1,330# hitch weight (pin weight) sounds like the mfgs published "DRY" pin weight based on DRY trailer weight (Unladen vehicle weight---UVW)
What is 5th wheel that you are purchasing/have purchased?
Typically 20%-25% of trailer actual camp ready weight is what WET pin weight will be.
