Weight Distribution Hitch with F350?
Posted this in the TV forum but thought it might be better here. I have a 2011 Jayco 29BHS. I used a Weight Distribution hitch of course. Will I still need it when my F350 diesel gets here? Than...

I just brought my 26ft RLS (7900 lb gross)Okanagan bumper pull home from storage with my new to me 2011 F350 SRW 4x4 CC long box. I checked the hitched and unhitched height of the wheel well as per Ford manual. The front only went up 3/4 of an inch with the trailer hookded up. The back only went down 1 1/2 inches.
Can't see much point in trying to redistribute that weight???
Lifting the front of your heavy truck that much suggest to me that you need a WDH.
You need to find out your actual tongue weight and then consult with you manual. It probably says the tongue weight without WDH cannot exceed 500 or 750#.
It only lifted 3/4". I should also note my truck has a camper package and a 10,800 GVW package. Ford says return front height to half of raised amount. Would not take much tension on the chains do that.
Also, my trailer had everything in it except food. So I don't expect much diferance when we head out to camp.
