Weight Distribution Hitch Question

Alright, thanks everyone for the inputs, I printed the directions and just to make sure I did this correct here are my heights.. I had to drop the hitch down and the L brackets up one notch...

Rear wheel
tow vehicle uncoupled - 41 9/16
tow vehicle coupled no W/D - 39 13/16
tow vehicle coupled with W/D - 40 1/4

Front Wheel
tow vehicle uncoupled - 39 1/16
tow vehicle coupled no W/D - 39 7/16
tow vehicle coupled with W/D - 39 1/8

When I swapped my 1500 Chevy for a 2500 Ram I had to make some minor changes to the Equalizer hitch setup. Use the Equalizer instruction manual HERE

It only took me about an hour or so. good luck.

Yes, you can swap it over, but you'll have to start from scratch with the set up. Your height will be different.

if it was me I would still measure the truck wheel wells and set your bars to level the truck again just to make sure

Another thing i forgot to add was i did have the air bags too in the 1500, so that may put the height closer..

The stifness of the suspension is not going to affect how the WD works. The same amount of weight is going to be removed from the tow vehicles front axle and needs to be replaced by the WD hitch no matter how stiff the suspension is.

Your 2500 truck has a stiffer suspension than your 1500, so you may have to adjust the stiffness of the Equalizer also. I predict you won't have to but it's worth checking using the procedure outlined by Equalizer.

You should be able to move it right to the new truck without any modifications as long as you set the hitch head to the same height from the ground as the first truck. This will probably involve moving it down on the shank as the new truck is most likely higher.
You are going to love towing with that new diesel! :)
