The tongue weight is somewhere between 300 and 600 pounds. The trailer vendor
designed it to have a heavy tongue weight to make it tow well at highway
speeds.

I could probably flip my ball mount over and get enough raise to keep the
trailer level. I'm more concerned about damaging the truck springs and making
sure the truck is set up properly to handle the tongue weight.

Understood. So does the group generally have a good opinion of the Roadmaster
system? And it will keep the back end of my truck from squatting so much?
