The Rockwood 5th wheels have to be pulled level because of the rubber torsion axels, if it doesn't pull level more of the weight would be on the rear axel.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

I have a similar problem, but luckily I have leaf spring suspension. I've lowered my hitch and raised the kingpin as much as I could, but am still running about 2 - 3 inches nose high. The axle weights are still within the limits by 400#, but the rear axle is 800# heavier than the front axle.
I did not want to raise the trailer any more since I am already at 12.5 feet with my 5er.
I'm looking at the truck suspension to see if there is anything that can be done there to drop it to closer to level without voiding the warranty.
