I just took another look at the numbers I put in the post. I did find two typo's. The line with WDH engaged, the Steer Axle should read 3580# (not 3520#) and the GCWR should read 13,320# (not 13,200#). Sorry for any confusion.

My WDH is the Blue OX Sway Pro. With 1k bars. I put it up to the 9th Chain link as called for in the book, and the Tech who installed the the Blue Ox
First, my TV is a 2014 F150 XLT 4x4, Supercab, 8 ft box, with Max Tow Package, and the HDPP. The FGAWR = 4050#, RGAWR = 4800#, GVWR = 8200#, CCC = 2286#, and the GCWR = 17,100#. The truck was rigged for towing, meaning all the normal tools, generators, gasoline, compressor, etc were on board as well as a full tank of gasoline.
My travel trailer is a new Jayco Jay Flight 23RB. It's a "stick and tin" built trailer and no slide. GAWR = 3500# each, GVWR = 6500#, Factory Shipped weight = 4758#, CCC = 1742#.
These are my numbers from my weigh tickets. Truck with no trailer, Steer Axle 3660#, Drive Axle = 3340#, Gross Weight = 7000#
Truck with trailer, but WDH disengaged. SA = 3340#, DA = 4640#, Trailer Axle = 5320#, Combined Gross Weight = 13,300#
Truck with trailer, but with WDH engaged. SA = 3520#, DA = 4280#, TA = 5460, GCWR = 13,200.
