    Flagstaff 5th Wheel Hitch Elevation

    My camper looks a little nose-high after switching to the 2500, but I only have about 5” clearance above the bed rail. My question is, will the axles evenly distribute the weight of the camper, or will the rear axle carry more? There’s a slight crown in the parking lot in the pic.
