2019 HT 30.5 CKTS and 2019 F-250 4X4 SB matchup

Does anyone have an '18 or '19 HT 30.5 (CKTS or MBOK or MLOK) with a very recent year F-250 4X4 SB with 10,000 lb. gvw package? If so, how is the height of the trailer and truck match-up, I have truck and 5'er on order, but unsure about the trailer sitting level. Does the trailer suspension need to be set for higher off the ground to get it to ride level?
I have searched Jayco for the distance from ground to underside of overhang and height range of the king pin unsuccessfully. I don't find the dealer to be reliable or knowledgeable...no surprise.

Don't have your setup, but I can tell you that with an HT you'll most definitely be a little nose high. You can adjust the kingpin, and trailer suspension a bit plus get the 16" tire option, but you most likely won't be level.

I've got an HT and a '16 Silverado HD for comparison which may have a lower bed height. Mine runs a bit nose high with the kingpin all the way up, trailer suspension adjusted down, and the smaller tires. No issues in nearly 2 years and quite a few miles related to that.

I don’t have the 30.5 but do have the 28.5 and a 2017 F250, 6.2L Lariat FX4 SB. The FW has 16” tires and the hangers are set in the lower hole. I have 5 1/2 inch clearance above the bed rails. No problem turning pretty tight.

That looks nice! I did order the 30.5 with the 16" tires. I've heard so many varying reports of some units riding terribly nose high, yours certainly looks level enough.
What do you have for a hitch? I am considering the Curt A16 slider for the factory 5th wheel puck system, but looking for input on what people have and what works and doesn't work.

Tow a 30.5MBOK with a 2016 F250 and it's pretty level. This photo is before putting on AirLift 5000 bags which has helped with the 3-4" squat on the truck and really smoothed out the rough roads. 16" tires on the camper and 20" on the truck. We tow with an Anderson Ultimate Hitch & I love it.
