The instructions that came with my DrawTite single-arm WDH said to measure fender to ground front and rear before hitching and return front to origional position only (measurement before hitching) unless rear sag is more than 1 inch. I avoided going to heavier bars for fear that they would transfer too much weight forward and back from rear wheels if I crossed a short, deep dip like is found some places in the SW. Picture your hooked up TV and TM with the TV's front wheels on one side of the dip and trailer wheels on the other with the TV's rear wheels off the ground if that helps explain my concern. I'm not at all sure my concern is justified and I think I'll find out my true tongue weight. I know the weight on each axle but not the tongue weight as that was not readily doable when I drove through the truck scales.
