Well, we did it. We finally made the leap from tt to 5er. We purchased a 2014 Palomino Sabre 34REQS. Dealer installed a Reese 16K hitch for us. Now to look into options to level the ride out as we...

Trucks are supposed to "squat". Op drive your combo I bet everything will be fine!
It's ridiculous to see so many TV's with the ass end sitting high going down the road with the RV nose high because someone thinks they need to be sitting ass end high like when they are running solo. Also it makes for a very rough ride!
If you are within specs you don't need to add anything.
The OP's headlights are pointing to the sky. They need to do something!
Unless the OP wants to shine their lights in the eyes of passing motorist.
Sorry his truck is setting exactly as it should when fully loaded.
My 3500 RAM with 4,500# pin weight sits level also. My headlights don't shine towards the sky and the op's don't either.
The people that have their rear sitting low to the front should get a heavier duty truck. With that condition they are overloaded. Point is trucks that "need" a bandaid are overloaded.
I assume your truck squats when loaded with your RV. Do you feel the need to raise the rear to solo height? I have seen trucks exactly like yours and mine with airbags and they are going down the highway with the bags pumped up with the rear at solo height and that causes the front of the RV to be noise high and that causes too much weight to be on the rear axle and makes for a rough ride.
