5th wheel trlr height problem

This is slightly OT but I know you guys can help. I finally got my new truck F350 SRW 4x4, and its real high up, almost too high. I backed under my fifth wheel camper and the only way its going to clear is with the front of the trailer way too high. Last year I talked to an RV dealer about this situation and he said he has been moving the trailer axles from on top of the leaf springs to under, which sounds logical. I'm thinking of going that way and maybe seeing if the shop can even add a 1 inch block. I figure just moving the axles will give me 4", This must be why all the new 5th whls have three steps going in because they're built to ride so high. My trailer is not too old (97 Jayco). I had a 1992 trailer before and it was way too low. Am I the first person with this problem? By the way is the F350 a lot higher than the F250 because if I had known this I might not have bought the truck, and are all brands this high. I was hoping that getting a new truck would be a little more fun. Thanks for your help. Everybody here is always so friendly.
