Going to the web site for that trailer doesn't show gross weights, only unloaded weight. Are you sure your not going to be overloading that truck when you hitch up? You should never use the unloaded pin weight as almost nobody tows empty. Using 20% of the gross trailer weight as a good guess on pin weights might put you close. Then check your truck tire max load capacity, then go to the scales and see what the truck has left from ready to tow weight to max loaded weights allowable. Bet your going to be over some number, either tire, or rear axle capacity. As far as 3 inches off level, could transfer weight from the trailer front axle to the rear axle, depeinding on those tires, and what they are allowed to carry when inflated to the max, you also could overload either an axle or tire? The scales will determine if there is going to be an issue.
