I was referring to your truck and it's still beautiful! That color is amazing.

So far I've done the following "adjustments" with more to come:
  • 3.5" lift with One Up Offroad drop brackets and PMF rear blocks with airbag tangs
  • PMF stainless brake lines
  • Airlift 7500XL bags
  • Curt Commercial Duty hitch
  • ARE Z-series campershell (on order)
  • Bedrug (on order)
  • SPE Cold side intercooler pipe (on order)
  • Rear seat fans for the kids
Peter, hate to lose a member of the 7.3 club, but beautiful truck! Congrats.

Ha! I know, loved the 7.3 but the power of the 6.7 is undeniable. We still have the 7.3 in the family so I'm not entirely out of the club

That's like us Cummins guys losing a 5.9L owner.

I agree, nice truck.

Decided to Trade Up

Out with the 26,000lb rated F800:



And in with the 80,000lb rated Volvo:



I'm sure the extra 1,000 ft lbs of torque will be helpful.

That’s cool. I’d have no business ever owning something like that, but sure would be cool. I’ve always wondered how the ride is in one of those vs a pickup towing.

I have a mile or two in a few of those. It is truly a night and day difference from the way a pickup or even a 4500/5500 series truck runs and tows. The fact that they are on air gives you just an incredible amount of comfort.

Very cool. Guess it needs to be of your getting 10-12 hrs of seat time.

You guys are so lucky to have vehicles last so long. Here they rust out around 10 years...

Finally hit the 1000 mile mark and can hook up. Got things roughly configured (my spot has a slight back to front slope, so it looks worse than it is. I have another post about the frustrations with the CAT scale...

Anyways, the front end hardly moved (1cm) when I put the trailer on, and the WDH brought it all back.

Well, 1cm of height and only 'bringing it back, you are still light on the front end.
My former 2015 F-150 would only raise 1/2 inch, (1.25cm) but to drive correctly, I needed to compress with the weight distribution hitch nearly 1.5 inches (3+cm)
My former 2019 RAM 1500 would raise 2 full inches (Timbrens) but with properly tensioned WDH would compress between 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.75cm).
My current TITAN equipped with Sumos raises the front end exactly 1 inch, in order to maintain proper handling balance (steering control) I have to put eight full turns in the Anderson anti-sway hitch on both sides. That shifts enough weight to the front to lower the front suspension height 1 inch (2.5cm) BELOW unloaded weight. That would be 2 inches (5cm) below coupled height without the hitch.

Either your hitch head angle is off (needs to tilt toward trailer some) or you are trying to "equalize" your weight distribution without assistance from the tongue jack. Raise it up, flip the bars (or whatever your adjustment device is), double check your ball, let her down. Adjust as necessary.

That's the plan in the spring, this year is done. As mentioned, the trip to the scales was not what I was hoping for.

It looks like I can't edit my post right above anymore (probably a time limite for edits); however, I thought about this some more and I pulled this into my CAT scale thread - https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...ons-80365.html
