Thank you to everyone who has replied.
1- curb weight is just what google returned it clearly stated 2500 8.1 l LT. I also checked like cars.com and confirmed. If better source available let me know.
I need to double check the weight rating on the hitch but I am 90% sure it is 1500 lbs. That is a main reason why I took setup to CAT scales.
I do have the blue ox sway pro hitch.
That brings up next good question. How do I calculate tongue weight to make sure I have properly sized hitch?
I have read I take 2 weight readings: weight of truck with no trailer (7180 lbs), weight of truck with WDH disconnected (8890 lbs). So I believe I have 1710 lb tongue weight. Did I calculate that right.
That being said it sounds like it would be a good idea for me to get a beefier hitch. Do they make 2000 lbs hitches? Suggestions??
Also - more numbers for you. I measured front and rear wheel well heights with no trailer and with trailer attached with WDH setup. No trailer has front 36.5 in and rear 38.25. Trailer with WDH has front at 36.5 and rear at 36.5. That good? I think so because I have front within 0.25 inches of unloaded height.
