I don't understand the big deal here. You're towing a light travel trailer with 400+ lbs of tongue weight. As long as you don't have any sway and you stay under Ram's tongue weight limit, you shouldn't need to bother with the WDH hitch -- at all! You save 50-100 lbs by using the conventional hitch rated for 5,000 lbs!So I towed the new trailer without the spring bars attached. I like it a lot better. I have not ran it for a really long trip but it behaved just fine.
While I know I will get a lot of them...I would like to hear the opinions, I cannot see a reason to drag the extra weight anymore, well pending the longer trip.
Truck 2020 1500 Limited
Trailer 2021 Gulf Stream 19ERD about 3800 - 4000 loaded
The air suspension handles the load extremely well. No sag - the truck is level.
EDIT: I did use the WDH hitch just not the spring bars
