Just my 2 cents but that looks like a whole lot of trailer for 1/2 suburban.

It does look like it, but as seen in the pic it weighed in at 6,780# and the Suburban is rated to 8K ... thinking though that the wind and the leverage, particularly laterally don't care about the weight as much as the surface area.
I didn't weigh the tongue separately, but even with the WD bars attached, I'm increasing the drive axle weight by 1000#, which seems like a lot. I wonder if the auto-level air ride system is giving it problems - I did try to set it up like the GM manual says and read a lot of threads on the subject. Wish there was a way to manually control what it tries to do.
I'll measure from the frame next time I have it out, but it's no kidding level within +/- 0.5" across the whole span when I measure from the belt line to the ground - you can see the roof is level with the eave on the garage.
