Air Bag or Forget It
I have a 2017 F350 with payload about 3200 lbs. . TT is 9500 lbs with TW of about 1300. Equalizer 1400 and set up. All is good with measurements and still a little high in rear end when all hooked up.
However, about 8 times a year we'll throw the electric golf cart and lots of wood blocks, 10x10 canopy, and beach toys in bed. GC probably around 1100 lbs. When we do this the rear sags lower than the front. Maybe 1.5" lower in rear vs. front. Equalizer does not recommend adjusting hitch to compensate for bed weight so I thought about adding air bags to bring it back up to level..
Question, should I even care about being 1.5" lower? Personally I hate the look of rear end sag when towing so more of me feels to do it. Other part of me with the wallet says $500 is a lot to spend for only 8 times a year when you haul a GC. Granted we haul it 2500miles+ when we do haul. What do you think?
