Dual cam saddles
Does Reese not sell the add on saddles anymore? My brother just towed his toy hauler the first time and it was a handful! I want to get him into a dual cam but his bars are straight without the saddle...

A trip to the scales is next to confirm, but judging by my return trip, I think I'll find that I was missing tongue weight compared to my Tundra which needed help in that department.
You were not taking any weight off the tongue. All you were doing was removing some of it from the rear axle of the truck and putting it someplace else. The tongue weight always stays the same unless you load the trailer differently or move the axles.
I know what you really meant but just put the above for others who may think you actually change the trailers tongue weight by using a WD hitch. Semantics you know! :B

agreed, the tongue weight is distributed from the rear axle to the front axle and to some extent to the rear of the TT. so let's say I have 1000lbs of TW, I usually have the WDH set to transfer a certain amount of that weight to the front . now I have 500lbs of weight sitting in the very rear of the trailer. this will surely reduce the tongue weight and if I use my "normal" WDH settings I am transferring too much weight to the front of the TV and rear of the TT, in effect making the trailer light on the tongue.
or am I not thinking about this correctly?
