I purchased a 2014 Starcraft Launch Ultra Lite 24 RLS Travel Trailer in January. I pulled it from the dealer to home with my 2013 Ram 1500, V8 4x4 shortbed Crew Cab. The dealer installed a load equalizing hitch and it sat fairly level and pulled good.
Now, that truck was totaled in an freak accident and I have since replaced it with a 2014 Ram 2500, 4x4 Crew Cab, 6'4" Bed, Cummins Turbo Diesel. Obviously too much truck for my 5,000 lb. Trailer but that's what I've got. My question is with only a 560 lb. tongue weight, I don't think that it will make this new truck squat very much at all. Should I leave off the equalizer bars and just tow it without them so I can level the truck out a little, or should I use them..?? The RAM 2500 has a Class 5 hitch, 2,000 Tongue Weight and 20,000 Lbs. towing...
Any thoughts or experiences on doing this..??
Absolutely run the WDH, by the time you load the trailer and a bunch of stuff in the box you will by unloading your steering axle some.
I move my trailer around the lot without the spring bars and i notice the lightened steering and I have aRam 3500. My rig is heavier but even so I would never tow any camper without a WDH.
