I kinda like to know what's behind me when reversing. As well, with the outter reflectors, I find I can actually see the Seadoo behind the 5'er when double towing.

Refraction.

Reflection.

Slightly different.

At that weight you should be using WD hitch. Properly installed and adjusted there should be no sag.

Tongue weight is around 850. It's normally about 750, but I added some extra stuff to make it heavier since it seems to light for the way the TT is loaded. That is the way it's configured inside. It comes from the factory with a tongue weight under 10% so I have been dealing with some porpoising. I have 360lbs of weight in the truck bed to similate my canopy (sent back to SnugTop for repair) and sliding bed tray plus 2 bikes and stuff. I have 1200lb WD bars. They seem to do the trick. I'm really impressed with the way it pulls power wise, I know the EB and 5.0 have more HP+TQ but in real driving you can only go so fast safely and as a rule traffic on the highways really doesn't run much past 55-60mph. On the freeway it will cruise at 65 mph all day. Most hills I can maintain 50-60 mph so all in all I'm happy with the combo. I just orderd an Equalizer 1200lb WD hitch to replace the one I have, so hopefully the weather will give me a break next week so I can hook it up.

It should not sag at all if the weight distribution hitch is adjusted correctly. Many have the WDH misadjusted in head height, head angle, or spring bar tension, that the truck and trailer are not level and/or the truck rear end is sagging with the truck front end perched higher in the air.

I have the fun ahead of me, readjusting my WDH to the new truck. Can't wait.

No matter what I do, I can't get mine perfectly level. Either slightly high or a little low. I like a little low.
