Some WDH manufacturer's still are using the same "equal-squat" approach which was applied to the family sedans commonly used for tow vehicles 40-50 years ago.
Its not about equal squat. Its about getting the front axle back to original weight..
Actually, it's not. As mentioned and pointed about above - getting the front axle to original weight is going against what Ford recommends. Ford wants the front end rise to be half when the WDH is applied.
Most of the other truck manufactures have followed suit and changed their specs as well. It has to do with better handling in emergency situations, IIRC.
With that being said, my front end rise is 1/3, as it rides and handles better, IMO.
