My Brother picked up a new boat, Malibu Wakesetter VLX. He also bought me one of those rock-solid tow guards so it wouldn't get all chipped up from the gravel and debris we have on our roads in the winter. This is me in front of Wizzard Lake Marine in beautiful Calmar Alberta. Strangely, one of the largest Malibu dealerships in the world.
The tires on those trailers are hilarious. Z-rated sports-car tires. I looked at a few others on the lot, they were all that way. I guess they don't need the load rating for a boat, and they sure do look cooler on those fancy rims than any ST tire I've ever seen.

Just curious Brandon as it appears you tow some heavy loads. Do you use a wdh for the 30ft Jayco or drop it on the ball and go? Two couples we camp with don't use wdh's with their F150-24ft TT and F250-26ft TT. We're looking at a 30ft Jayco 27rls 700~ lbs tongue weight and I'm thinking of doing the same with our F250. We towed a 20ft TT years ago with wdh on a 94 F150 and found it towed much better with just a short shank standard ball mount with no wd.

Short answer. I will use the WD hitch since I already have it.
Long answer
Bringing it home I just dropped it on the ball. The truck actually sat pretty good and my spring package is the softer of the 2 that a f250 could have come with. When I take it up to the site it will be at most of the summer the bed of my truck will be full with material to build a deck and picnic table plus all the other gear for the summer. Other times the camper will be used I will have 1 or 2 motorcycles in the bed so with the extra weight I will use the WD hitch again. I have only ever used a WD hitch on a open car hauler and even empty it made it "settle down" on the bumpy roads around here.
