Glad it works. And no, I won't hammer you about tow capacity. I think you have plenty, and I agree with your reasons for wanting it. However, I would tweak you a bit for thinking that air bags are a substitute for a WDH. But no one seems to care, so I won't repeat myself.

Have you checked your tow vehicle's GAWR-rear rating against the actual weight on the rear axle, when the tow vehicle is fully loaded for a trip, and you drop the weight of the fully-loaded TM on the hitch ball?
