How much rear sag is ok?
Hey,
Today I hooked up my TT 26' Wildwood just to see how much it would sag.
When I measured from the ground to the top of the rear fender, it was a 2.5-inch sag hooked up.
Is that normal? I have the the Max Tow and HD payload package.
The rear still sits high though.

Your headlights are the key indicator. If oncoming traffic flashes their headlights at you because your headlights are blinding them, then you have too much sag. Fix the sag by tightening up on the spring bars of your WD hitch, or install air bags with the proper PSI to eliminate the sag. But don't continue to blind oncoming traffic at night.

Is the suspension "stock" ?
IE no leveling kit on the front ?
Some people have found the front end raised to get rid of the built in rake
IE-back higher then the front

Agree with smokey, watch your lights.
But I'd be careful about using your WDH to lift the rear. Use it primarily to bring the front end back down. Reduce front end lift by 50-100% but no more with the WDH.
If you need to lift your rear any more, add bags, RAS, Timbrens or some other suspension mod. They'll help with the "wallow" under load as well.

Thanks guys.
I think that the rear sits purposely higher than the front so that when you load up the back , it will technically even out with the front....

I just hooked up my 5550# cargo trailer and I've got close to 1 inch rear sag compared to front with a stock suspension. seems the max tow is an improvement compared to stock.
