My big 32' class C has a lot of weight at the rear, and it could use some more clearance for the rear levelers. I was thinking that it could benefit from helper springs or lift blocks at the rear. But it sounds as if this would decrease the effective caster, so maybe that's not a good idea.
In theory you might have a light front end because of the long rear overhang. As such, you may benefit by reducing the front tire pressure to be just enough to carry the weight of the front end. This would have the effect of increasing the caster trail to be the most available trail for that 5* caster angle.

For example, my 2004 E450 28 foot front end runs at about 4350# (max) 4600#.
