Does this look right?

If the OP is asking if it looks right, basing it on the truck and trailer both being level, yes it looks "right". However, having towed a heavy rig with a Tundra, I would like to know what the front fender height it both unhitched and hitched. The Tundra manual says to return the front to the original height with no reference at all to the rear. If he used the WD to just to get the truck to sit level, then the front axle is likely overloaded, and that would not be right. Too many people think the purpose of WD is to level the TV and that's not it at all.

The Ford does not have the same requirement for restoring weight on the front (Ford minimum is 1/2) as your Tundra. His truck has a payload of 1800+ lbs. His trailer is 6600# dry with a GVWR of 9525#. It is very unlikely he will add 3k to the trailer but even if he did the TW would max out around 1200# still leaving 600# for passengers, etc. His F-150 EB (Max Tow) is not your Tundra. He has matched it up pretty good for a 1/2 ton and larger TT.

I said having towed with a Tundra, not towing with one now and his picture at first looked like the Tundra, not the EB F150, so that was my mistake. My point is/was , the same as TerryAllen's, that is not knowing any weights or measurements, I question how everyone can say it looks "right" with only a photo of the truck and trailer. The truck is still a F150, and there should be some noticeable squat in the rear of the truck even with properly adjusted bars. With no indication of that, I had to ask, and still have to ask, was the WD used only to level the truck and the weight returned to the front axle, with no mention of payload or towing capacity numbers. Obviously, unlike many members on this forum, my eye is not calibrated to the degree necessary to make that determination from a photo. That is why I said, if the only factor was the truck being level, it looked right..
