The only topic more touchy than "to WD or not" is "Dodge vs every other diesel". Then you have the 6v batteries in series vs single/parallel 12v and gas vs diesel. Truth is none of these matter as much as the WD subject. Your rig will always tow better with a properly set up W.D. hitch. In your case it has NOTHING to do with the capability of your pick-up. Nothing to do with how much it pushes your truck down on rear springs. It has to do with the fact that you have 6 to 8 hundred pounds pounding you every time you hit a decent size bump or swell in the road or hiway. When the back end of the truck goes down on a bump or bridge approach...........the front axle of the truck goes up.........it's a fact...can be no other way. A properly set up W.D. will minimize this as it spreads the weight across the whole truck. Visualize in your mind the trailer pushing down on both axles at a time vs one axle at a time.
