Thanks for the info. You're right, I am new to this and don't have the best understanding of the WDH yet. We towed a tent trailer the last few years, so this is a big upgrade.
I thought a properly adjusted weight distribution dropped the front and rear truck fenders equally, no?
When putting the weight distribution bars into place, I know you have to lift the front of the trailer and back of the truck up together using the trailer jack, but it feels like I'm jacking up the truck pretty high just to get the spring bars close enough to the brackets to pop into place. Also, when removing the bars, there is still quite a bit of tension on them when using the tool to pop them out. I'm sure this is a sign of needing a 1000-1200lbs WDH, but how high should the jack be lifting the truck? (I have 3 washers in place on the WDH and the brackets are set to the 2nd highest holes on the trailer frame.
I'll have to look into some places nearby to get my weights figured out.
I believe the tow rating of the truck is around 10,800lbs.
