I learned to remove the WD bars on the Equalizer. If the hitch wants to touch down/drag simply put some boards under the rear wheels of the truck. I keep some 2 x 12's that are six feet long for this purpose and they work fine on my driveway that causes a problem as described.

I thought about a caster or roller under the hitch but the boards work fine.
