Because that’s what literally happens when you apply a significant load aft of the rear axle…
Unless one can transfer most/all the tongue weight away with the wdh.

I'm under my GVWR and I am under my GCWR so I don't think there is anything dangerous going on here. As far as the airbags go they are an assist just like the WDH. I would not count on airbags to support all the weight of the truck and trailer. I so expect them to improve my ride.
1400 pounds of TW puts me between 10% and 15% which is where I want to be.
I don't think I will be adjusting the WDH any tighter.

He has a weight distribution hitch correct??? Setup they ADD weight to the front axle NOT remove it. He is removing weight.

^Yes, but with those numbers I assumed weight bearing since that made more sense.
Seems light for the front of a diesel too, but idk?

I have a WDH with 1500 pound bars.
You drop enough weight like 1400 pounds of TW and 300 pounds of cargo on the back bumper your going to lighten the front end. I was happy it was only 200 pounds. The WDH is cranked about as far as I want to crank it.

I want my 5er level, the truck not so much. Trucks have suspensions for a reason.
