Calculating weight distribution requirements?
Hi everyone :-) First post and excited!!! Wondering how do you calculate what WD is required for your rig? Say for example the TT (loaded) tongue weight of 950lbs do you add the weight of your WD/...

Thanks I'm reading this link now.
Towing with a Dodge Ram Laramie 1500 Quad cab 5.7 Hemi with 3.92 diff. with 4 corner air suspension. My new trailer in which I'll be picking up this spring is a Kodiak 290BHSL with a unloaded TT of 6,005lbs and a TW of 781 lbs.
Assuming I load it to the max load of 1,500lbs therefore I'll be around 7,500lbs but the TW is were I'm trying to respect to a max of 960. After reading many blogs and forums about whether or not to install a WD and/or Sway control has me wondering what route to go? I believe and my thoughts that there is no harm in installing a system like equalizer only to benefit if there is any, any problems that can occur out on the road.
Thanks for the reply. Will update my signature to reflect my rig :-)
What is the Ram receiver hitch rated for? The one on my F150 is only rated for 1050 lbs. If your tongue weight is over 500 lbs., you need a WD hitch.
