And Travler then asked Don't even start down that path, because it will lead you to helper springs and air bags. Take another long look at Mr. Adventure's response above. The purpose of a WDH is to put back the weight that was lifted from the front wheels when the trailer tongue is dropped on the hitch. This is very important for SAFETY, as he said. One of the side effects of doing this is that the tow vehicle levels out - but that's just a side effect. It is not the purpose of a WDH.
Helper springs and air bags will level the vehicle, but they won't put the weight back on the front wheels.

Okay..no I sure don't want to go down that road....I was just trying to understand how and why some people use WDH. Pulling my 2720 with my Ford F-150 4.2L auto Trans I don't think I'll need one.
