Why too many of the 'advice' on these types of forums are provided as a
'one size fits all' by the advisors
Why it is best to understand and know what the goal is in setting up...
TV OEM's have different 'recommendations' for how much weight is WD'd back to
their TV's front axle...others how much 'height' it should be brought back to, etc
Goal is to have the TV loaded 'within' spec, front end brought back to whatever
the OEM 'recommends'
The trailer tongue is level at its highest pointing, to pointing slightly down
That the WD Hitch system is setup properly and rated for the *ACTUAL* tongue
weight
and a bunch more 'details'...
