Well if your running a WD hitch and its sagging like that then it is not set up properly! It looks like the trailer is level now but the X is sagging. I would drop the trailer about 2" on the drawbar, then add a couple washers to the hitch and see what it looks like after that!

I'm towing a 9200lb loaded 35 ft total length TT and it doesn't squat even with 5psi in my airbags. And I'm running stock X springs.

Good luck!

I will take a look at that. Not something I had considered. I let the RV place where I bought the TT set up everything, since it was all new to me. You can feel the WD working when you are going down the road, but maybe it isn't right. I'll study that more. Thanks.
