How does weight look?
I'm at 17% tongue weight, which is a little high, but the weights below is with a very lightly adjusted Andersen WDH. What do you folks think? Do these numbers look good to you?
Lance 1995 Empty Tanks
4160 lbs
740 +/-tongue weight
F150 Unhooked
3060 lbs Front
2340 lbs Rear
5400 total
F150 Hooked (2 threads on Andersen)
3040 lbs Front
3080 lbs Rear
Total Weight with F150
10280 lbs

Losing 20# on the front axle will not affect your steering. I believe that in the newer gen trucks, ford allows/recommends that you do not try to return the front to it original height but bring it back to only within 1/2 inch

I'll look that up thanks. I do think I need to add more weight distribution as well. Perhaps I'll give the 1/2 inch method a try.
