When hooked up without it, my truck drops 2” in the rear and raises about 1” in front.
When hooked up with it, the front is within 1/4” of unloaded and the rear is down 1”. This basically levels out the truck, which sits tail high when unhitched.
There are tons of positive reviews of the Andersen hitch from those who actually own and use one. There are some negative comments from people who have never had their hands on one. They will not make an inadequate tow vehicle into a towing monster. They are quiet, lightweight, effective hitches (as you noted). I really like the way they control "porpoising" as we travel over bumpy highways.
The latest recommendations from Ford and GM products do not "require" 100% front axle weight restoration as some on here still believe.
