Thank you for highlighting this point. In nearly every thread on this subject the importance of getting the weight back on the front end is often overlooked.
Think of it this way, it's about steering control. If the front end feels "light" or "squirrelly" when the trailer is hooked up and the WD hitch adjusted, you have some more adjusting to do.
GM says to bring the front end back down to factory height.
Yes, a key tool to hooking up any trailer is a tape measure. With my auto level system once I drop on the ball the truck automatically goes back to level, or close to. The rear bumper will come back up to exactly where it was light but the front will sit about 3/4" higher. I have that "count the chain links" type of WDH and I have figured out where to set it. Once I lock the chains in place the computer and air system buzzes and clicks, and basically goes through an R2D2 thing for a while and the rear comes back down as does the front. I have it set where the front is about 1/8"-1/4" higher than stock but I wager I can do some fine adjustment to the tilt on the hitch and get it nutz on.
