Before you put the trailer tongue on the ball, measure from the ground to the wheel well directly over the front tire, and write that number down. Hook up the trailer without your WD bars and raise the tongue jack all the way so all of the trailer's tongue weight is on the truck's ball. Measure from the ground to the wheel well directly over the front tire again and subtract the two numbers.
My Ford manual says to add WD pressure until the front end comes back down about 1/2 of the amount it was raised.
Most towing manuals I have ever seen say to add WD pressure until the front end comes back to within 1/2" of the original measure, but under no circumstances, have the front end come down lower than it was in the first measure. This is the one I use.
Always have at list 5 links of the chain under tension (I don't count the loose links dangling). If you have only 5 links under tension and need to add more pressure, unhook everything and tilt the tow head down a little more, then start this process over.
