Measure the distance from the ground to the top point of the front wheel well, both before and after hooking up the trailer. If there is more than 1/2 inch difference, you need WD.
X2! Rear squat is not an indicator that a WDH is needed.
Even a fairly light trailer with a 150/1500 series truck can take enough weigh off the front to require a WDH.
He did not mention nor was he talking about rear squat. He was talking about the RISE of the front fender which would indicate weight being removed from the front axle.
