IMO an F-150 should not be set up to drop the front and rear equal amounts. The WD bar should be set so the front bumper is 0 to ¼” higher hooked up than when not hooked up. This will put about the same amount of weight back on the front axle as it had when not towing which is what you want for proper steering. This will probably drop the back 2” or so. If the back does not look droopy then you have transferred enough weight to the front. Pickups sit high in the rear and are designed to drop under load (in the rear). I set up both my F-150 and F-350 this way to get normal weight on the steering axle for best handling (even though the F-350 hardly drops in the rear when hooked up.)
