Second one ... is right after tow guy dropped my truck..
Front end looks kinda the same to me..

I agree with Glenn and the front looks high and the back overload.
I have done a lot of towing with Racer Car trailers years ago and always hated it when the back was over loaded.
Always felt more control with a level truck. Once you start to take weight off the front the truck will start to dance around more and was not in my comfort level for long tows. Just my 2 cents any how.

I weighed our new Suite right after swapping stuff from old trailer to new trailer on a CAT scale at a truck stop. I had previously weighed the truck & old trailer in May the day we closed our s&b. After that May weigh in I went back to get a truck weight only. Last week we pulled out of our summer home with 65% fresh, 100% gray & 35% black & went to the CAT scale again before dumping. I was over on the drive axle by 1100#. What I found curious is the steer axle got lighter by 200-300# with trailer on compared to not hooked up. I think if the fifth wheel hitch were 1/2"- 1" ahead in the box it would keep weight up front and the headlights out of the trees.
The truck handles & hauls beautifully. I probably should stay away from night driving though. I have no air bags, but it looks pretty level when parked.
