Thanks for all the replies. At the suggestion of my local dealer, I tried putting some more tension on the WDH to transfer more weight to the front axle.
The result is that the front end sits about a quarter inch lower than without the trailer hooked up so it is transferring a bit more weight to the front axle than optimal perhaps; however, now the truck sits dead level without a load in the back and with the camper dry.
I would think that a bit of a load and some water in the trailer should bring it down about an inch or so...??? I will have to test it out and see. I guess that passengers in the front seat will have an impact too
My dealer recommended the option of just adding a 1 or 1.5 inch block under the leaf springs in the rear in order to bring the rear up a bit. He thought that air bags might make a rough ride.
