One thing you will not do with that rig is raise the front end of a F350 diesel.
Don't even try to compress the front end of a HD truck! I use WDH but on the lowest links and then of course the friction sway control
When I tried to compress the front end the truck fought me and the handling was terrible. There is a 1000lb engine plus a 400lb tranny up front with a suspension to hold it all up, last thing you want to do is try to force it down. You drop 1000lbs on the hitch and the truck will hardly notice it. Have 900lbs on my hitch, the truck hardly moves when I set it down.
