Hadn't pumped up the air bags yet. 20" tires makes it look worse than it really is.

I may have to do those airbags as well as I have a 2014 F150 Crew 4X4 with 5.5 foot box and although F150 rides smooth rear end is very soft but I am getting a Crusader which has a dry weight of 8400 and I can tow 11,200 with the EccoBoost engine

Air bags are the only truly adjustable suspension. Get an on-board air pump with it. Doubles the price, but worth every penny. I've got a firestone system. Many have suggested Blisten 5100 series shocks as another upgrade. Only down side to bags is bouncy bouncy. Good shocks like the 5100 series will help limit this. I'd be curious how your new setup works. My brother in law has the same truck and I'm trying to get him into camping.

Will let you know selling my current Shasta TT and getting either a Crusader 290, 294, or 295 at the next show or which ever dealer comes back with best price, also getting Reese Slider installed

Won't pumping up the airbags (I assume they're on your TV) cause the rear of the 5er to sag even more?

The site we're at slopes quite a bit downward (front to rear of camper). It's very difficult to tell in this picture, but when disconnected and level the kingpin was 12" lower than when connected to the truck. On level concrete, with air bags properly inflated, the camper is within 1/4" level.
I did weld on ultra-fab rollers to the rear frame just in case. First trip we took I drug the bumper with a crowd nearby. Great fun.

We've just had our 2015 Rockwood 23IKSS Roo for almost a week. We decided to get to know her in our driveway and camp a few days there. We are totally, totally in love with her!!!  The next few months are going to drag on forever!!  I can't wait to take her out on a "real" camping trip!!!

Wicked1 if you were talking to me, I will tell you there is tons of floor space in this Hybrid. I was amazed once we got it all opened up!
