If you did readjust, I'd say go weigh it with and without the bars attached and then the truck by itself to see how much weight is being transferred. If you lifting weight off of the front there could be reduced steering and braking. Otherwise the Fastway could be helpful with sway control.
I did adjust the hitch. Actually I had to buy a completely new drop shank because the one I had with the Ram didnt allow for enough drop from the higher bumper hitch height.
