When I first hooked up the TT to the new truck it really squatted the rear end much more than it did on the Z-71. Re-adjusted the WDH and now it's fine. I take it easy on the road, 60-65 mph, but still a little nervous as this is my first TT.
WDH makes a huge difference. If you don't have you already purchase a sway bar as well. No reason to rush either. I have a 6.2L with a 3.73 axle ratio and I still do 60-65 mph.

I have the WDH and yes, makes a big diff. Wouldn't want to know how it would feel without one. Be glad when I get use to this thing.

Our baby...

Picture from earlier in the year. First trip this past weekend, 800 Km round trip with 3 nights camping. Everything worked great. The 6.0 liter diesel sure is nice to tow with.
