Please check some measurements.
Hey guys, need an opinion here on if I should buy a WD hitch for our awesome POP up and Minivan combo, leave as is, or just go with some Timbren's/Airlift Airbags to level it out in the rear. Th...

I would like to do something about the rear end, Timbrens appeal to me most because they are an install and forget. I am not worried about the squat as much as I am the rear end handling once we are fully loaded up. A WD hitch will take car of it too, but there are WELDED ON obstructions on the Trailer A-frame in the way. AirLift airbags will level out the rear back to stock so that may be the way to go.
As long as you are within the TV specs (which you appear to be), I don't see a reason to be concerned with the rear-end squat. Many pick ups have 1.5" of squat -- even with WDH applied.
I would be more concerned about the need for sway control than the need for WD -- especially considering that the TW might be at the bottom of the normally accepted range.
Seems to me that your combination is a good candidate for the Andersen WDH.
With a tongue weight of less than 400#, the Andersen should be able to restore the TV's front end to its unhitched load.
And, the Andersen's chain bracket system might allow you to avoid the WELDED ON obstructions on the Trailer A-frame.
Just some thoughts.
