I spent a few hours re setting the WDH. What I came up with
Trunk only at 5 psi in air bags
rear wheel well 38"
front wheel well 35"
Truck and Trailer no WDH hitch and 5 psi
rear 35 5/8"
front 35 1/2"
I am maxed out on how much more tension I can put on the 1000# bars.
Truck with WDH and 5 psi
rear 36"
front 35 3/4"
Truck with WDH and 35 psi (this is the psi where I normally run when towing)
rear 36 5/8"
front 35 1/2"
I am looking and in the market for 1500# bars
This is not what I would have expected. That's if I understand the numbers correctly.
35" front unloaded
35 1/2" front, loaded, without WDH, 1/2" rise, to be expected
35 3/4" front, loaded, with WDH, another 1/4" rise, not expected, the front should have gone down when the WDH bars were tightened up.
The best way is to take it to the scales. http://www.publicscaleslocator.com
This is the way mine worked out.
I agree I did not catch that when I was doing the measurements. I moved the trailer out of my RV Port which has a concrete pad onto the gravel driveway between those measurements. The was the truck was sitting must have changed.
