I'm back with a new hitch installed!
NEW Hitch has been set up following the Equal-i-zer directions.
Hitch is a 1400/14000 model with a 13" rise shank.
Trailer is now LEVEL!!!!
5 washers were used and the L bracket mounted on trailer (where bars attach) is set leaving two visible holes on top (see pic).
Drove it approx. 25 miles to CAT scale. Drove great!
Here are NEW weights:
Weight #1 (Truck and trailer WITH WD engaged):
Front axle: 3400#
Rear axle: 4680#
Trailer axle: 8140#
Total: 16220#
Weight #2 (Truck and trailer WD NOT engaged):
Front axle: 3220#
Rear axle: 4980#
Trailer axle: 8040
Total: 16240#
Weight #3 (truck only with new camper shell and 40# in bed):
Front axle: 3700#
Rear axle: 3280#
Total: 6980#
So.....is this better than where I was the first weigh in and previous hitch?
Are further fine tuning adjustments needed? If so, what exactly?
Thanks!!
