Hello all, I'm at a loss here.
We had previously pulled our Open Range Light 272RLS (7800lb base weight, 830lb tongue weight) with a 2002 GMC Savana 1500 and Curt TruTrack weight distribution hitch. Obviously the Savana was not rated for a camper this heavy but it was at least level thanks to helper air bags on the rear leafs.
We recently replaced the Savana with a 2013 Ford Expedition XLT with the heavy duty tow package. As it has a new hitch height, the WDH has to be adjusted. My brother and I both tried numerous times to adjust it but simply cannot get it to ride level. Different head positions, head angles, nothing seems to make it happy. The back end consistently sags and at some positions we had pretty noticeable sway issues. Sometimes the head is at such an angle it's practically impossible to get the ball to actually couple.
My fiance and I both read through the Curt installation manual and watched the installation video, with conflicting instructions at times -- the manual says to add 1/8" per 100lbs tongue, while the video says "about 1-2 inches".
Since my work schedule conflicts with Curt's support hours, does anybody else happen to have a TruTrack system that I could reference their settings off of to get me closer to what's ideal?
Thanks!
