I think I may give it one more try tomorrow and bring in one more link. I was doing it at my storage spot on some uneven gravel so measurement was very difficult. I will take it to a flat "wal-mart" lot and get good measurements all around. Do you include sag from the natural rake of the truck as well, or is it just the difference in front and rear height? Also, I have not tried to weigh everything without the WD hitch on, the local scale on I-5 is SUPER busy!
The difference is front height ONLY. Front unhitched vs. Front hitched withOUT WD bars engaged vs. Front hitched WITH WD bars engaged.
You do not measure rear sag. It is irrelevant to this issue.
When hitching up, latch the coupler on to the ball, and then use the jack to lift the rear of the truck and the tongue of the trailer as much as necessary to make latching up the chains easy.
