This is a bit of a "bump" but do any of you think I have too much tension on the wdh? After I posted this I am noticing that most people end up with more weight on the rear axle. Is it bad for them to be equal or is that a good thing? I could reduce the tension a bit to achieve a rear bias. I have not been conservative at all in the way I load up for a trip so I could reduce weight to stay within gvwr if need be. Alternatively, without changing weight I could shift the load in the bed slightly rearward. When I took those scale measurements I had the firewood and generator forward of the rear axle. Or am I being too nit picky about getting the "perfect" distribution? Honestly, I have no complaints at all about the way it towed. And I have towed the same trailer with a 3/4 ton. I am just far more conscious of getting it right with the 1/2er.
Some of us are just more nit-picky than others.:)
People have definitely found differences in ride by doing all those things you mentioned. In my truck, the WDH setting determines just how much the "over-load" leaf in the spring pack is engaged.
Just how important those differences are ... depends, I guess.
