Blue Ox Sway Pro Setup question UPDATE
I have a B.O Sway Pro 1500, Prime Time Lacrosse 324RST TT and Ram 2500 CTD. When hooked up, TT and TV are level. Hitch/Bars setup on 10th link. Tongue Weight is 1480 with two 30lb propane tanks, TT...

Couple comments
1) Class V hitch. Using reducer to go from 2.5" to 2"
2) No lift kit (that I am aware of). Truck purchased used.
3) Loaded camper tongue weight is 1480 lbs. That is with 20 gals of water in fresh water tank, full propane tanks (2x30lb), battery, bike rack hitch (mounted to tongue) but no bikes installed. I drained the FW tank, so now Im at ~1320lbs. Total Trailer weight is 9620 lbs. TW is 13% (1320/9620).
4) Weight in bed is ~150 lbs, although not sure how that relates to tongue weight and ability to hook up. Am still 1060 lbs under rear GAWR for truck.
Here's a couple pics. One thing I do/did have a question about was the fixed head tilt angle. On my hitch the head is straight up and down (no tilt angle), but the sway bar trunions are tilted). See pic. I believe this achieves the same thing, but????
I'll try to post up some pics. I don't have a site to host them on.
