![]() ![]() When everything is hooked up and the air lifts the rear slightly I can grab the spring bars and lift them off the trailer brackets without too much effort. Here's what the scale numbers look like (I know the TT isn't very heavy compared to what a lot of people tow): So far I've turned off the air then let the system raise the rear to where it wants. I can't imagine not using WD and just raising the rear and not using the hitch to transfer weight to the front axle.Ĭan't wait to take this out for the first tow and see how it performs!Ĭlick to expand.I'm questioning the best method to set up my WDH with the factory air. If I have air bags, do I put less spring tension on the WD hitch and then air up the rear to level? Or put lots of tension then air up a bit to finish leveling? Air bags will be great for other trailers I haul that don't have weight distribution. So I am talking myself into some air bags (looking at timber grove unless better suggestions come up). ![]() My tongue weight is around 700 if I remember correctly. ![]() That is with some pretty good tension on the spring bars however. By measuring front and back unloaded then with spring tension I get roughly 1/4 inch of raising in the front and about 2.5 sag in the rear. I attached the WD spring bars and it somewhat levels out by playing with spring tension. It had so much sag that the jack wouldn't retract enough to get the block of wood out from under it. I get significantly more squat from the ram compared to the chevy (the chevy was a shorter height truck too). My previous tow rig was a silverado 1500 and I used a WD hitch. I've read about how our trucks squat and alot of people add air bags to compensate, so I was not surprised to see the squatting I got hooking up my travel trailer for the first time. ![]()
