New Andersen WD hitch
A fellow camper bud showed me this. It's new and different. Anyone using one? Andersen WD hitches A U-tube video with the factory guy explaining it. You have to get past MR Truck doing his...

If you adjust your new WDH so the front end of the TV is returned to a height of 1/8 - 1/4" above the unhitched value,
you would be achieving a good compromise between what Equal-i-zer and Ford now specify.
Hi Ron,
Thank you very much for your information and advice. It inspired me to spend much of yesterday trying to fine-tune the measurements and weights. Thank goodness the nice folks at the Flying J are tolerant of my numerous trips through their CAT scale.
You suggested that 1/8 to 1/4" increase in wheel well height over the unloaded height would be optimal.
I focused yesterday on the measurements and weighs with 1/8" and 3/16" spring compressions. At 3/16" spring compression, the front wheel well was 1/4" higher than the unloaded height. At 1/8" spring compression, the front wheel well was 7/16" higher than the unloaded height.
I have updated the spreadsheet with the new information and again attached it as a photo. Hopefully sized correctly this time.
Thanks again for your great help.
Bruce H.
