WDH with a F350?

You need to measure the distance from the ground to the lip of the front fender unloaded first. Then hook up the TT, and adjust the WDH until the fender lip is approximately 1" higher, or close to the unloaded height, but never lower. If that doesn't work, there's something else wrong. Make sure to use anti-sway as well, if you're not already. Good luck.

Pulled my trailer for the first time with my new 2016 Ford F-350 and it didn't handle no where near as well as I thought it would. WDH down one link and felt like front end floating. Stopped and set WDH down two links, moving more weight forward, and felt better but still like the front end floating.

What am I missing? I thought that a 1 ton truck would handle so much better with what is basically little weight compared to what the maximum payload is. Do I tilt the ball back to move weight forward or tilt ball towards truck? Hitch was set up for my 2011 Ram 2500.

On a one ton with a 4000+/- payload what tongue weight are you trying to distribute? Pickup trucks are designed to carry the weight in the back. Why try to move some to the front? Your truck will handle all the tongue weight just fine with no WDH and have lots of payload left to spare. Tilt the ball back a little more and see if that helps. Then go as light as you can with the chains or bars on weight distribution. I have a one ton and it handles the tongue weight of around 1100-1200 pounds just fine without any weight distribution. And if I use a WDH it handles/feels the same. You might want to acquire an aftermarket receiver if yours is not rated for enough tongue weight without using the WDH.

Also, a WDH redistributes about 20-25 percent of the redistributed tongue weight back to the trailer axles. If you can avoid that extra axle weight you are only helping your trailer axles and tires. Think through what you are trying to do with the WDH before you do anything.

Ford has an excellent on line towing guide. You might want to familiarize yourself with it before making a lot of changes to the weight distribution hitch.

Is the hitch at the same height from the ground as the old set up?
