Follow the links in my signature for a ton of wdh info.
Thanks for the links. Sadly, the information is way beyond my knowledge level. I think I would have to hire someone to help me with that. Now I'll add one more question to my list of unanswered questions:
How much extra will a good one cost?
Does hooking and un-hooking a WDH take more time?
If a WDH is set up wrong will it make things even worse? (I'll bet the answer to this question is Yes)
On Amazon a good WDH with anti sway bar runs around $275.
Hitching and unhitching takes very little extra time.
Yes, if you distribute too little weight to your tow vehicle it will be much worse.
Setting up the WDH is pretty simple. You get a tape measure and follow the instructions of how much rise or sag you have at the bumpers. When you think you are close. Take the fully loaded trailer for a spin. You can fine tune the weight distribution by taking up a link or dropping a link on the bar chains. Then, write down somewhere in the truck the setting. Mine says, "Drop three, catch the fourth." This is referring to which link in the chain that I catch.
But, again, I suggest you take a look at your OEM tires. No matter if you inflate to max pressure for towing, those soft sidewalls are a real problem.
