I really didn't think about that until you said that. I don't think I want this trailer swinging around the truck 
which is exactly what would happen at 37' and 7.5k lbs.!Nice setup!! I too came from a 07' 5.4L and it was like night and day! My trailer is 7500lbs. You are going to be pleasantly surprised when you climb your first big hill. I'm not sure if it's the angle you took the picture but the trailer looks a little nose high? You want the trailer either perfectly level or slightly nose down. If it is nose high it will cause the trailer to sway. I would also tighten up the WD bars a little more and get some more weight on the front end of your truck to bring that front end down a bit more too. If i were you i would load up some gear and the family and hit the road!! 
I cant do anything until it warms up..
I cant do anything until it warms up..I'm not sure if turning in the culdesac left the truck/trailer with that profile, but I had just leveled everything in my driveway and adjusted the ball height to be level with the trailer (+1.5" to account for suspension compression). Also when I dropped the trailer in the drive on the ball everything looked good and level and then this picture
. I'll have to bring my wrenches with me on the first camping trip in case I need to make adjustments.And you have some serious snow there! Ours is all gone in northeast Ohio. was up to 70 degrees F. here today
in March no less! It's going to be in the 30's this week though. Gotta love Ohio weather...

My TT all covered up, will uncover soon if the weather stays like this (60 degrees f today). It's a 2013 keystone passport 2910bh we bought it last year. We had a 2007 forest river wildwood before. I have an edge cs for the towing and a reese weight distribution hitch setup. The truck does just fine pulling. I am planning on doing some upgrades on the truck and the trailer this spring to make towing and camping a little better.

What upgrades are you planning? I'm always looking for new ideas. Installed one of these over the weekend. Works great (in driveway testing
) and takes the guesswork out of the side-side leveling amount for me.

Looks like a clean 07'

I ended up installing it on the top of the electric tounge jack. Not what I wanted but it was the best I could do. Good thing I did though because as it turned out, I removed the top cover to bolt it on and found out that the rubber plug on the top of the jack had been leaking water and was corroding the power unit
. Cleaned it off, sprayed liberaly with WD-40 and used silicone to seal the rubber plug.
