Agreed - I'm getting used to it. I already shut my tailgate once or twice without lifting back the cover. Cover looks good.

I just installed a Truxedo Sentry CT last week. I'm happy with the overall function, fit, and appearance. Peragon also looks good.

I read plenty of good stuff about the RS9000 XL from other forums. A couple of setups from this past weekend's trip had RS9000 XL's equipped and they had nothing but positive things to say.

Hey Gondul, my findings are the same as yours for the Bilstein 5100s and 4600s. However, Shock Surplus has the 4600s listed on their website: Shock Surplus Maybe worth reaching out to them to verify fitment. I sent them a message when I was researching shocks a couple of weeks ago and they sent...

Btw - thank you all for the advice and insight. I have learned a great deal through this process.

I went with Fox 2.0. Ride is stiffer, not harsh/jarring, and I like how the truck handles now. Looking forward to loading up. I have used Bilstein 5100's on my other trucks, which have always worked well and the cost vs. performance factor is great. But, from what I was able to gather, 5100...

Alright - WDH adjustments made (3 washers and brackets set to 4 holes showing) with new springs bars and balanced load. UPS rolled up with the new shocks as we were leaving for a quick weekend trip and I didn't have time to install. Trailer towed well both directions cruising 60-65. Only...

I hear you, MikeXM. My primary concern is safety and the Hensley fits that. Thanks for the recommendation and good to hear you are enjoying the Hensley. I'd like to really get this figured out with my current WDH and rule out any underlying issues. I need to evaluate how I'm loading my trailer...

Interesting you mention this. I was thinking about replacing the factory shocks with Bilstien 5100s today. Trailer is 28'; total 53'. A couple things after stopping at Cat Scale. 1. Tongue weight is 860# and my WD is rated between 600-800#. 2. Front axel is 4100# / rear 4340 with WD. I'd like...

Alright, I think I'm closer to having this knocked. New shank came into today (Equalizer 9" drop) and set it up on lowest setting (14" height), which aligns (top of coupler to mid ball) per Husky's requirements. Checked tongue weight again on level, which came in at 700 lbs. I may have more...

Nice find! I've been eyeing the Laramie flares and searching for Billet Silver. New can be purchased for ~$180 - $200, but I was quoted $500 to paint.

Checked tongue weight yesterday. TT dry is 5765 lbs, I figure I have ~200 lbs of fixed gear, which would put tongue weight at 11%. New shank is due in tomorrow and headed to a CAT scale on Friday (I'll be fully loaded). I'm planning three scales: TV loaded TV F/R axles and TT no WD TV F/R...

Looks to be more options with a 2" shank. I'll look into this also. Once I get the correct drop to align ball/coupler, verify tongue weight; hopefully, I'll have this dialed in.

Unfortunately, there was still sway with the extended test drive. I think Brutal nailed it, I went back to the parking lot and looked where my ball is lining up to the coupler; middle of ball is 2" (3" ball on top of a .25" spacer) above top of the coupler. The Husky manual says middle of...

I hooked up, found flat ground, adjusted, and remeasured. Torque trunnion bolts to 150 ft. lbs. Add washer at head pin (3 total) Lower spring bar brackets one hole (3 showing) TV 70 psi front and rear | TT 80 psi Measure height of receiver (24.5") vs. top of inside coupler (19.5") Remeasured...

I may have to go with either a 8" or 9" drop - my trailer seems to sit low compared to the truck (24" from ground to inside top of receiver). I should have a better idea once I verify the coupler vs. receiver height. I checked the EQ# 90-02-4225 and that seems to be a 8" rise/4" drop (9.5"...

I didn't get a chance to pull the trailer out today; will try again tomorrow for coupler/receiver measurements. However, I found the trunnion torque spec's. in the back of the Husky manual: 150 ft lbs. They were loose. Tightened up. It would be nice to be able to open the tailgate when the...

I measured, before ordering the 6" drop, from the top of the receiver opening vs. bottom of coupler and the difference was 6". I'll find level ground and measure again before I order another shank. I probably should do that regardless to get actual measurements. One thing I'm confused about is...

Trailer is slightly nose high. I replaced the original WDH 2" drop shank for a 6" drop. Makes more sense when someone else explains. With the 1/2 ton I used to increase TV psi (front: 45 to 50/rear: 45 to 55 (max. 65)), while running TT max. 65 psi. I'll give that a go after work. I'm...
