LCC, so what I think you are saying is if you level the front and then load a heavy bumper pull trailer you actually might wind up with the front end sitting too high. Even with WD you might not be able to return to 100% before hook up measurements. Should be close but without leveling the front with spacers to match the rear you sure won't be nose high since you have more height in the rear to allow some sag and get closer to level front to back.

I'm sure others have already loaded the trailer hitch to let us know what lbs make it sag..

LOL.. What you don't see is the mess I had to deal with before having a "big boys garage", as my wife puts it.

I was torn between RR and Blue Jean. I'm glad I went with RR, one of my close buddies just told me his Blue Jean F250 should be in in two weeks.. That would have been awkward..

But my 14 F150 FX would have been stuck too....

One of my techs has a Rebel. Drove it in the mud. Impressive and good ground clearance. We have four trim levels represented from Dodge at our shop, SLT, Sport, Laramie and Rebel. other than the service trucks, I'm the only one with a Ford..
