Trailer leaning
Noticed today that the trailer was leaning some to the right toward the right side of the road. There is also about an inch more clearance between the bottom of the nose section and the truck bed rail...

Most roads are made with a slope to the outside edge. Are you sure the "lean" is not just an allusion because the road itself has a lean? Find somewhere where you know the surface is flat, like a very large parking lot. Drive there and see what the rig looks like.
I had a horrible time with my truck dealership repair shop when the truck was new. I kept complaining how the truck seemed to always pull to the right. LONG story short, after a couple front end alignments, changed tires, and replacing springs, it still pulled to the right. Then one day I was driving on a truly "flat" road and noticed it had no pull. That's when I realized, and really started taking note of how many roads are built with slopes to the edge for water drainage. When towing my 5er, I can really see the "lean" because the 5er is so tall.
It's just something to consider before tearing things apart that don't need to be torn apart.
A =good= alignment shop will put just a hair of "left turn" in the front end to help a vehicle track straight. Offsets the crown that 90=% of roads have.
