If the frame measures at the right height, you need Thor specs of at what height the rear of the MH structure they built on the Ford frame should be. If the frame measures ok, but the MH is low, and you are not over the GCVW and your load is fairly evenly distributed, (rear axle not overloaded) your issue is with Thor's mounting of the MH on the frame. Of course its possible everything is within specs and its a perception issue. I can only comment about ours, which is on a different chassis, then yours, but even after loading ours, with quite a bit of stuff, there is no visual difference in height or ground clearance, from when it was empty, which visually is level.

Ford specs show 25.4 to 25.7 inches loaded. That's easy enough to check with a tape measure to see if it's even close to that.

Other than defective (out of spec) leaf springs, I don't see a likely scenario where this will end up being a Ford problem.
