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...

Something is not totally adding up with the fenders and weights of an 1,100# loaded TW when mrekim’s had his frame issues. My 2003, K2500 Suburban gasser front end rose 1 1/8” with a 1,200# loaded TW and no WD. However mrekim has the heavy diesel up front and the fender rise effect may be less for rise even if the weight is moving. We can let this go for the moment that not all TV’s may notice the shift in 50% loss of WD.
I'm not sure what the difference is. I guess the heavy engine could be part of it. I have some front fender rise measurements with no WD below. I can't explain why the passenger rises more than the driver side, but at least it's consistent.

I'm pretty sure the first two were on the same day so they were close. It's possible the trailer was a little more packed on the 3rd one.
The last one there was some gear removed from the trailer and some additional gear in the back of the Excursion. The propane tanks were off too. I don't think I ever recorded a large raise in the front.
I think I had a 1/16 rise on the driver side and 1/8" on the passenger side when the scale had me 340lbs light in the front. I was surprised that such a small measured change represented such a large weight difference.
