Thanks to all for the replies. I think I'm just being paranoid since I'll have to travel 5 hours to pick up the trailer. I'm trying to head off any potential surprises when I get there.
I don't mind a little nose-up as long as it doesn't affect handling. With a TT, nose high means sway, the higher the nose, the more pronounced the sway. The insert is the part of a trailer hitch that carries the ball and which slides into the receiver. A drop insert is sort of like it sounds; it is curved down allowing the ball to be positioned below the receiver in order to help the trailer track more level.
The Drawtite hitch has one set of holes to raise the fifth wheel plate and 3 or 4 to lower it. I'm assuming I want to get level or a little less while maintaining 6-8 inches of bed rail clearance. We'll know Friday night what we'll need to do to make that happen.
Thanx,
Jim
