I was more curious if the community thought this needed to be done, but the feeling I get is it should be as close to level while towing. So, looks like I will be ordering the kit today! :)
I had to flip the springs from under to over the axles on my fifth wheel to get it to level up with my Ram. I got nearly 6" of lift and it sits within an inch of level now with pretty good bed rail clearance. If you can do an axle flip that's probably the easiest way to lift it, or if your springs are already on top of your axles you could look at blocks or having longer spring hangers welded on.
It's a pretty easy job once you get the trailer jacked up and safely blocked. I had to cut the brake wires and spice in extensions, so you might think ahead and order some heat shrink tape and electrical connections along with the flip kits.
