As stated in my OP, the truck only raised a 1/4" in the front. Hard to beat that when it comes to weight distribution.
Everything towed really well this weekend. 409 miles and it never skipped a beat with the Equalizer working very well.
I'm at 8 washers so I'll leave it at that. I know some say the bars should be parallel to the trailer's frame but the instruction say my next step if I need more is to raise the L bracket. If we ever go anywhere without something in the garage, I may end up having to do that. At least that's an easy adjustment.
