"Actually that's not necessarily true. Just 1/2 inch in increased front fender height can make for a scary ride in a 30 mph cross wind. And 4400# is enough weight on a 150/1500 series truck to need a WDH.
And yes, those AT tires can be a problem. I just replaced my tires with OEM speced tires and it's a world of improvement from the AT tires I had for 3 years. "
Meh, maybe for you. Depending how much weight "1/2" takes off the front axle I suppose. It likely boils down to what your used to and if your not used to handling a myriad of different trailers then I could see something a little out of the norm being a little sketchy for some.
OEM spec tires? In general, the 20-30 new trucks I've had, the OEM tires are mostly mushy pieces of _____. Nothing says stability and confidence when loaded or towing like a heavier, stiffer, better traction in inclement conditions tire.
One person's definition of scary may be another's definition of easy towing. I think am beginning to figure out what the polar attraction is to weight distributing hitches though. For those that have not towed alot, it must really enhance the sense of security. I need to try one sometime...
