I picked up a nice, used Silverado 2500HD over the weekend and I need some advice.

This is the fake 3/4 ton...it's really a 1 ton with 3/4 ton marketing
badging...it's a +9K GVWR TV

Before selling my 1500,

There are three classes of half ton...lower end are +6K GVWR, regular
or mid are +7K GVWR, and the highest class in the half ton class is
the +9K GVWR (AKA 'HD' marketing modifier)

I measured the receiver height (unloaded) at 16" and the 2500 height is at 17.5". Do I need drop my hitch down a bit to get my E2 WDH loaded correctly? Also, the TV is running 265/75R/16 tires. The door sticker calls for 80 PSI in the rear tires...I'm assuming that's under a heavy load but what PSI should I use unloaded or with a lighter trailer (5K lbs)?

Since possibly +3K more in GVWR...it's springs will have that much more
carry capacity...meaning it won't drop as much with the same tongue
weight

Most likely will have to drop the shank the one or two or more holes,
because of the higher spring rates.
