Help with a Fastway E2

I went from a Chevrolet 1500 to a 2500. These are pics with it hooked to new truck. I made no changes from prior setup. Well I did need to go with a 2 1/2” to 2” reducer.
Recommendations? Thoughts ?
Thanks

If you feel inclined to level it some more, drop the hitch head one hole, and see if it's more to your liking.

Take some measurements front to back and compare.

Measure from the bottom of the frame to the ground (on a level surface), on the front most section of frame, then the same at the rear most section of the frame. The difference will give you a gauge on how unlevel it front to back. Divide that measurement by 2, and that'll be about how much you need to drop the ball of the hitch. I hope this made sense the way I wrote it.

Easiest way to check proper setup is to put a piece of tape on the fender above the front tire. With the trailer disconnected measure from the ground to a pencil line on the tape and record the number. Hookup the trailer with the bars connected and remeasure. If the hitch is setup correctly you should be within 1/4 inch of your first measurement.
