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.
GM HD trucks have a noticeable rake from rear to front. I suspect that may reflect longer suspension travel. I also suspect it may have progressive rear spring tension. Though the rear of the truck drops some, it doesn't appear to squat at all.
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?
No more than your TT is down in front. And your Truck as close as it is. You have no problems with those truck measurements. Good to go. You will never get the TT perfectly level behind the truck..
