Hello from a newbie (and a Keystone question)

Blangen's comment a bove regarding the front of the truck squatting is dated and has been revised by essentially all the WDH manufacturers at this point. Most now want you to get your front end height back to as close to unloaded as possible without actually compressing any from the unloaded height. The instructions (particularly Equalizer) used to suggest compression in the front but not any longer. The concern with getting the front under compression is you have the ability at that point to actually remove weight from the rear axle vs. its unloaded weight.

Granted... I no longer own a weight dist hitch but here is from the currently published Equalizer Manual:

Weight Distribution:
Weight distribution is the ability of a hitch to transfer some of the tongue
weight of the trailer from the rear axle of the tow vehicle to the front axle of
the tow vehicle, and backward to the trailer axles. Without weight distribu
-
tion the tow vehicle “teeter-totters” on the rear axle of the tow vehicle, and
unweights the front axle. Proper weight distribution transfers weight back to
the front steering axle, forcing it back to the ground.

The OP hasn't said he has an Equalizer but, just in case he does, here is the complete manual.
