Default towing with a leveled truck

Anybody towing anything heavy with a leveled truck? Seems to me it wouldn't work very well. The front end would be to high after loaded down to tow good.

#Airbags


No seriously, the answer to having a leveled truck and still being able to tow would be airbags if you ask me. I'm leveledish, I have spacers up front but I also added in a 1" rear block to keep a pinch of rake. If I were going completely level and towing/hauling I would definitely invest in Airbags, hell I would invest in airbags even if I was just towing and not trying to level!

Back when all I had was a leveling kit.

No WDH and no idea on tongue weight.

It was a last minute trip to deliver some seed. The original tow vehicle (f250 with the 7.3l) refused to start that morning and we had a tight timeframe. Trailer weighed a hair under 10k pounds. It was being sold at auction the following day so we didn't buy a WDH for it.

I tow a 30' TT with a full level. It has some squat when I am hooked up but functions adequately. No issues to speak of other than a little squat.

With my WDH properly adjusted, my truck sits level when towing my 28' TT. I also have air bags, if needed, without the WDH.
