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...

Ron, I learned long ago not to try to argue a point with you (:W) BUT notice that Ben said "So it DOES NOT transfer as much weight to the front axle as a traditional receiver would with the same WD spring forces." (Bold added for emphasis) I still think his point was valid.:)
-- unless you change WD bar length, TV wheelbase, ball overhang, ball to TT axles distance, or tongue weight.
Receiver torsional stiffness does not enter into the relationship between WD spring force and load transfer.
---BUT it is also possible his receiver is bending like so many others have. It is something he should check on instead of being unaware of a possible problem.The amount of receiver rotation which would result in being able to transfer only 40# to the front axle would be so great as to be easily detected.
And, IMO, there would have to be some major cracking.
renojack stated he had the receiver checked and all was in order as far as loose or cracked welds.
I think we should wait to see what happens after he gets the compression charts from Andersen.
