My trailer is a Springdale Summerland 2660RL.
Towable GVWR is 7645 lbs.
Hitch TWR 645 lbs

When the WDH is connected the axle weights are all below the max. The front of the truck goes from 36 1/2 in height w/o the WDH to 36 3/16 in w/ the WDH connected. That's a lowering of 5/16 in. The rear goes from 38 3/8 in to 36 in. So the truck is pretty level. The trailer is also level with the WDH connected.



That being said, can I assume that the tongue weight is within specs?
Take it to a Cat Scale. Weigh it with and without spring bars latched. Then weigh truck by it's self
