Flipping my axle!
Got the Dexter axle flip kit a couple months ago. Was going to do it myself but decided it was worth some $$ to have someone do it. Talked to my mechanic right next door (handy, and a great neighbo...

Finally got decent weather and flipped the WDH head to match the TT rise. Had to flip the stinger. Hard to judge/measure in my uneven yard, so I completely hooked the TT up with the WDH. TT seemed a little front high with the load bars attached so I moved it down one hole. Hooked everything back up and drove over to the High School bus lane for a fairly level hard surface (my test & measurement area). Measuring the TT box corners, TT was 1/2" front high. Going to run with that for now. All that hooking up, disconnecting, and resetting the hitch head twice flat wore this old man out.
Went out my driveway for the first time with the load bars in place, vice installing them on the road. My Hitch creaked so loud on the dip and turn that I thought I was dragging something. First thing I did at the HS was a complete walk around inspection.
Looking at my TV wheel well heights, I must be putting more weight on the truck from the WDH. TV front went down 3/16", rear also went down 1/4". I tried to park in the same place for measuring, in front of the same set of doors, near the curb. I did have about 170# more tongue weight than last time. Winter stored items under the TT front bed of stuff that is either thrown in the truck bed, placed in the TT hallway or in the rear under bunk storage requiring bunk latched up, all for ease of set up.
