Trucks Don't "Suck" Us in Anymore
My '13 F350 got reinforced springs a couple of years ago because it sagged so bad when loaded. Now it hardly drops at all when hooked up. I also replaced the stock Ford hitch with a Curt 20K model. So...

A suggestion for you to check. You said you raised the L brackets up one hole. I enlarged your picture and it looks like your WD bars are slanted upwards towards the trailer. That means that they are probably riding somewhat on the edge of the L bracket instead of flat on it. This will/can result in a several things happening - none of them desirable.
1. increase of noise when turning.
2. wear of the L bracket, keeper pin, or bars.
3. movement of the L bracket forward or backward
4. less sway control.
I would return the L bracket so that it makes the bars level with the A frame or so they rest completely flat on the bracket.
Then tilt the hitch head some more to make up for the lost tension on the WD bars.
You should be able to adjust the hitch as mentioned so that you get the same desired weight distribution that you have now but with the bars riding flat on the L brackets like they should.
By the way - GREAT looking combination!

I can do that. Thanks for the direction.
Front of the truck raises up about 1/4" when hooked up with WD.
