They keep raising the trucks and I am running about 2 inches nose high. I blew 3 tires in March and still trying to figure out why. How much more weight is on the rear tires because of "nose high" I had to adjust the hitch 3" up when I went from 2007 2500 HD to 2011 Hd and the new 2017is almost 3" higher again. Because of that I have decided I don"t need a new truck. I thought that the equalizers would change the weight to "equal" but does it? Any thoughts?
For what it's worth, they could drop the truck 11" and still have room for tires. And it would be a whole lot easier for us old farts to get into.
