Re: Weight Distribution Hitch

Quote:
If you were using 500LBS of tongue weight and transfered half to the front 250LBS you would only have a remaining weight capacity on the front end of 245LBS but a remaining truck capacity of 10088-4500-5000 = 588 LBS.
If you only have 500 lb of tongue weight, why would you want a weight distributing hitch in the first place? The rear end sag is minimal and the rear axle still has less load than the front. My tongue load is 400 lb and the drop at the hitch ball is 1 3/16".
