Message: [QUOTE="GreenF350, post: 818956, member: 7731"] Think about it this way....eliminate the springs and air bags for a minute for the fake of discussion and make it solid mount to the frame. Now take a ridiculous heavy load and place it on the hitch...eventually with enough weight it will lift the front tires off the ground. If you took the exact same load and put a WD hitch on it it would actually put more weight on the front tires. Bags merely raise the back of the truck. In the situation above it would be the equivalent of raising the bed of the truck up a few inches but still keeping the solid mount. I suspect there is a minimal difference in weight on the front tires based on "sag", but it will be negligible. I'm not the greatest trying to explain it, but here is another example to illustrate my point that I bet anyone that has been around the two has noticed. Hook up a heavy trailer to the truck the back end sags down and the front will rise. Hook up the WD hitch and the back will come up and the nose will go back down. Take the WD stuff back off and inflate the air bags to raise the rear back up....The front doesn't go down like it does with the WD hitch at least not in my experiences. They DO serve a purpose, but given a choice of one or the other, I think the hitch is the better option. -Aaron [/QUOTE]
