BTW, my new RAM 2500 has that auto level system. This whole using the WDH to level the truck by bringing up the rear end goes out the window. Once I drop my 850 lb hitch on the truck ball it drops a couple inches, but within 10 seconds the truck automatically raises it back to exactly where it was before I hitched the trailer up! I just have my WDH set up to lower the front of the truck down to about 1/4" above the stock height. If your truck has no springs or suspension on the rear, just solid struts and no matter how much weight you drop on the ball the rear does not go down you still would use the WDH to bring the front end down. That is called distributing the weight to the front, hence the name "Weight Distribution Hitch". Sure you can raise the rear of your tow rig with the WDH but if you have air bags you can take a lot of that strain off the WDH bars (which now become major suspension components on the TW if you have weak springs) and just use the bars to lower your front and level the TV.
