Please torque up those spring bars so you don't lose steering control in the rain. Just recommending. [emoticon]

How can you tell how much pressure is on the spring bars from that picture? With my Reese WD hitch, my springs bars are parallel with the hitch/frame when hooked up, just like that picture. I adjusted the pressure of the spring bars by adjusting the angle of the hitch that is attached to the truck. Or are you thinking of a different type of hitch?

It's not adjusted correctly. The truck is nose high with a lot of rear sagging. The bars need to be adjusted to level the truck.

PM me if you want to discuss it further.

Must be you cause I noticed it too but didnt say anything cause it isnt that bad. I have seen plenty of trucks completely dragging ass down the road. Its almost like some people just put them on and hook on the 1st link for looks.

I noticed it as well but I thought that maybe a little slope in the parking lot might be the cause.

With my old set-up, you could adjust the angle of the hitch head and thus got more leverage with the bars. This allows you keep the tongue weight from forcing a nose up condition like your truck is demonstrating...
