I wonder what the delivery driver drives and what hitch he uses for these heavyweights?
I find it strange that your front end does not change height. I have 4 WD with the towing and plow packages, and my front end will raise with 5K lbs on the hitch. Have you measured the fender height with and without load on he hitch?
I was at our local Airstream dealership a few years ago when a driver brought in a tri axle Airstream. The TV was a GM dually with a Curt 2.5" receiver and just a ball with no WD or sway control. Makes me wonder why the consumer would need any different.
When we ordered our Jayflight 28RLS, I backed up to one on the lot and set the tongue on a tri ball just to see how the truck would sit. The rear settled 2" and the front didn't change using a steal tape measure. The dealer, Tampa RV, was very accommodating. Now with ours home, the results are the same. The only reason I even bother with WD is to satisfy the rating of the hitch receiver.
