I bought a 2022 Ram longbed diesel dually in January. When I load up my Northstar 12STC (4800# ready to camp), it looks like its leaning back as well. I was thinking about installing airbags, but the top and bottom overloads are just engaged as it is now. The airbags would lift it off the overloads if I try to make it look level. Don't want that.
Instead, I reregistered my truck at 13,900# so it's legal. When the dealer registered it in January, they registered it for 9200#, which is 300# more than the truck weighs empty. I was going to leave the registration at 9200# and keep my fingers crossed I wouldn't get weighed, but the way it leans back makes me feel more likely to get weighed. Not a big deal, the difference between 9200# and 13,900# is only $35 / year. The worst part was waiting in line at the DMV - 3 windows open, 21 people in line.
I guess I originally misunderstood the OP's situation. I thought he was telling us that the camper was looking like it was leaning to the rear in a level truck bed. I didn't realize the OP was just telling us that the whole truck and camper are actually leaning to rear a little bit. Which is totally normal. Notice in my pic that the rear of the camper that sits in the truck bed is actually sitting lower in the bed than the front of the camper sitting in the bed, A little bit. My misunderstanding.
This is not an illusion, it actually sits about an inch higher in the front of the truck bed.
