riding nose high

I'm looking into getting a Grand design Reflection: 150 Series 260RD. My truck is a 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 with the diesel. Presently I own a Keystone Sprinter. It rides nose high, which puts a lot of strain on the back axle which will probably wear out the bearings prematurely. I'd like to reach out to someone with a similar setup and whether or not the truck-trailer rides level?

Rule of thumb is try to have your fifthwheel as level as possible.
it will heat your back tires up when riding nose high
you might have to adjust your axles on the trailer or the pin boxes or your hitch in your truck
good luck
those 4x4 are high
If I was to get a new dodge 4x4 I think I would look into trying to lower my truck as I would only use it for pulling not mud bogging
I know the dodge dealer here in Canada doing that
2003 dodge 2wheel drive diesel 375hp 750torque
2007 citation fifth wheel model 29bhs

I pulled a GD Solitude with my 2006 Ram 2500 for over 13,000 miles. It rode level with no problem. I had the 5.9 Cummins but it was 4 x 2! I am not sure if that made a difference.
