I'm very happy with the Using Husky Centerline TS32215 WDH with integrated sway control and Round Bar springs 400-600Lbs. (can go in reverse without any removal of items). $265.60 https://www.rvautoparts.com/search?query=HUS32215. Use discount code to get lower price.

The Gray tank just in front of the Black with most of it still behind the axle. The Freshwater tank is located in front of the axle. So, make sure that your Freshwater tank is empty and your Black tank is full of water. This will increase your Gross weight, but lower your tongue. Now, should you do this?......... and the peanut gallery chimes in!

Oh boy! That's some sway waiting to happen!

You make a point though. These little single axle Wolf Pups have all the weight up front when unloaded. Only the fridge and empty plumbing are to the rear of the axle.

Maybe I can have my two kids just stand on the bumper the whole ride to the campsite!

WDH & spring bars are just added as part of the TV Load capacity.
FR figuring tongue weight is a mystery. I’d expect them to actually weigh that occasionally. I do know that on the non-adventure package models (non 5K axle), FR adds the listed dry TW to the axle capacity to get the TT GVWR. I have a 3500# axle, listed TW of 377#, & TT GVWR of 3877#. So my dry TW is almost 10% of TT GVWR.

I'll second this, especially on their Black Label upgrade. With higher weight of the fiberglass, power tongue jack, and factory installed battery, they should list the TW of the black labels. My 16BHS sure as heck would never give a 370# TW based on what I'm seeing.

Getting that listed 377# may be possible with just a manual jack, no LP, no battery, aluminum sides, and a slight uplifting breeze...

Come in FR...do better on this!
