Hitch questions

[Shane826]

If you raise the hitch ball to level the trailer, that does nothing to alleviate the squat of the tow vehicle.

If you just add air bags to alleviate the squat, that isn’t putting weight back on the front axle for braking and steering traction.

“Golly gee, Shane! So what should I do?”

A weight distribution hitch, properly set up, will fix all of the above mentioned problems.

“Oh dear. So what weight distribution hitch should I get?”

See my original reply waaaaay back in post #2.

I have a 2619, and do not use a weight distribution hitch.
Even not knowing how much weight they'll add to the back bed, they may not require one. Their tow vehicle is a 4x4, so I would wait to see how much it dips once they connect to it.

I have a 3326 and a Ram 1500. Tows ridiculously better with the weight distribution hitch. Remember modern half ton trucks are very soft sprung in the rear so they ride more like a car.
