I started out setting up my Equal-I-zer meticulously per the instructions, bringing the front halfway back to its unloaded height. Slow speeds were fine, but I had an unnerving “wiggle” at or above 60mph. Felt like the trailer was pushing my back end around.
I added more WD and got the front height back to unloaded height. Improvement but still not comfortable.
Seeing some posts on this forum I used the CAT scales to evenly load my axles (about 3400# each). This is significantly better, and with some air in my Airlift 1000s to remove bounce (think it helped with the push/pull feel on bumpy roads) I’d call it acceptable, ALMOST comfortable. Part of it may simply be me getting used to towing a large TT. I used to have an F250 and 5th wheel. I got pushed around a bit in that too but it’s a different feeling.
I’ve seen other posts say to make front and rear squat evenly. This suggests adding even weight. i.e. if my truck gets heavier by 800#s the front should get 400 of that and the rear 400. This would make the front much heavier than the rear (as it is when unloaded). This seems like a lot of load to put on the WD hitch. I’d like to try it, but I already feel like I’m gong to rip the hitch off the truck in the upward direction.
Any thoughts, advice or experience is greatly appreciated.
