Don't worry about the rear sag. It is the restoration of weight on the front axle that you are seeking. The rear will take care of itself.

The rear sag is more of an annoyance than anything ie my previous rigs (half-ton trucks with 24' trailers) only dropped about an inch, and my 'new' 3/4 ton truck with a 28' trailer drops 2+". It still pulls and drives so much better that I'm not too concerned just yet.

Having to run the jack up til the motor groans and quits can't be right, though?
