I just "exchanged" my GMC dually for an new 17 Ford F350 dually. It does sit about 1 1/2" taller but still fits under my standard garage door. I did have to get a shorter radio antenna. With the GMC the Excel sat about 2" nose high but with the Ford I'm at about 4".
Earlier this summer I had scheduled a trip for next month to Elkhart to have the MorRyde IS system installed on the Excel. Part of the installation is leveling the trailer to the truck so the problem will be addressed. I don't like going even taller but it is what it is. I started with the full intention of getting another GMC but made the mistake of driving the Ford. We liked a lot of things about it over the GMC and made the change.
