Nose-high towing
I've completed the conversion of my kingpin to a goosebox on my Raptor 351, and the difference is everything that I hoped for, with one exception. I had first attached the goosebox at the 2nd to tallest position, but then had only about 5" of clearance between the trailer and the bed rails, so I moved it to the tallest setting. This gives me great clearance, but now with my 2019 F350 (with its notoriously high bed) has a distinctive nose-up posture. I bought the B&W goose ball kit, which has about a 2 1/2" riser base. Before I replace that with a lower profile ball, my question is, what are the problems with towing at a nose high aspect? I suppose the off-level position of the refrigerator is one issue. Is there also stress factors in play on the frame, tires, etc?
