I don't have the same truck or the same 5th wheel but after "dropping" your monster on the truck, are the two units level or close to it? If the rear end of the truck is sitting quite low, I would look into installing air bags or some other spring helper to help reduce the amount of drop.
My drop is only 2" but different truck, different 5th wheel, and different weight so how mine behaves isn't relevant. The two units are very close to level after the two are hitched.
