I'm towing just a bit nose high. Maybe a quarter of a bubble.

I think if I would have rotated more often I would have never noticed.
Yup, the distance from the straight edge to the opposite spring shackle is essentially the "axle arch". You'd need to measure that "height", measure the distance from end to end, divide by 2, use "algebra" (that math we never really liked) to determine the angle of the arch based on the straight edge height measurement and axle length. But, yeah, if the distance from the straight edge to the shackle is the same on both axles, the arch is the same on both axles.
