Weight Distsribution device

I know this is a towing question, which I have also posted in the towing section, but I know there are a few people here that have a very good understanding and might be able to still help me with this question.

This is a 2 part question...
1) Why does everyone recommend getting a new hitch receiver rather than using the stock one that came with most F250/350 SDs? Also why is there different ratings for a normal tag trailer and one that has the WD setup?

2) How does a WD device work that is different from a normal tag trailer other than the stabilizing arms that comoe off of the hitch and hook to the trailer.

Any information you can supply would be very helpful. I am just trying to gain a better understanding of how they work and how they are more beneficial in the long run.
