I currently have a pro series weight distribution hitch for our camper. It's the style with the chains that attach the bars to the camper. With the stabilizer bars.
Here's a link to the one currently on the camper.

Haven't been really happy with how the camper pulled. Got to talking with some other camper owners. They recommended switching to the trunion style weight distribution hitch. This style has solid weight bars physically attached to the camper during travel.
So, I ordered one made by Curt off from ebay. Just showed up today. Planning on dragging the camper to a level vacant lot with my sockets and cordless impact to do the install this weekend.
So, got a couple questions about the set up for the guys that have one. For the most part it seems pretty straight forward.
According to the instructions you measure front and back ride height on the truck. The attach the bars. Raise the jack to place the load on the truck. Then measure ride height again.
Said also, if there is too much drop on the front end of the truck, to drop the bars down to the next lower setting and check again.
My question. How much drop between front and rear of the truck are you looking for?
Here's the hitch I'm switching too. It's a Curt 10,000 to 15,000lb hitch.
Here's the link to the one I purchased and gonna install.
