I always recommend setting up your WD system to handle the trailer when it's FULLY loaded and NEVER at it's empty weight (dry weight).

Go as close to that weight as possible without being under it. Going too much (too strong) can result in a harsh ride and too light (too weak) can result in being unable to keep the trailer/truck stance correct AND create a bouncy ride when towing.
