Dual Cam Setup
I'm working on setting up a new Reese Dual Cam setup. I think I need a 1" extended ball, and wonder if I would benefit from a 2". Here's are some photos of where I'm at now: Side view, I think...

We need mrekim to confirm his loaded TW and how he had the WD adjusted at the time the snap up and frame damage occurred. I was under the impression that he had an 1,100# loaded TW and had adjusted the WD hitch to return the front axle very close to unhitched fender height. I may have mixed that up, we need him to confirm. If all his damage came from only a 500# per side load down onto the WD bar, that is not a comforting thought.
I neglected to read all the way to the end of the post where I would have seen:
"The above measurements are before my last hitch adjustment. Which was to return the front axles to unhitched weight. This was done by going one notch on the hitch head after the above weights were taken."
Due to my oversight, I used the wrong value for amount of load restored to the front axle.
If the WDH actually returned 560# to the front axle, the estimated bar load would be approximately 1000# per bar.
