You need to get some truck front, and rear measurement numbers before, and after hooking up
Equal-izer instructions don't ask for rear truck measurement numbers, just front unhitched, hitched, and hitched with wd connected.
Hitched, without wd the front rises about 3/4" from unhitched. With WD it comes back down within 1/3" of uncoupled. That's right in there with what the instruction manual says.

I haven't driven it yet but will soon. What would a slight trailer nose down do to handling assuming the truck sits nice and level?
