I drop about 1.5" when all hooked up which brings back 400 of the 460lbs lost from the front end when wdh is hooked up. I still have approx a 1" rake.
If the front is returned to the proper height/load, you'll have the proper amount of load on the WD bars and your Equal-I-zer will generate the proper amount of yaw-resisting friction.
Using a WDH to achieve proper load transfer in conjunction with using air bags to achieve desired rear end height is not a problem if done correctly.
