[QUOTE="Gerald, post: 1535750, member: 36446"] Here is some data for the OP and others towing. I went out to some level ground and took some measurements of my stock 2019 SCREW. The gas tank was a little more than half full. Measurements were from ground to bottom of fender flare (highest point or center wheel). Driver Front = 40 1/4 in. Passenger Front = 40 1/4 in Driver Back = 41 1/2 in Passenger Back = 41 1/2 in My travel trailer was loaded with gear, but the holding tanks were mostly empty. I estimate the tongue weight to be about 575 lbs. With a weight distribution hitch, here are the measurements with the trailer attached. Driver Front = 40 3/8 in. Passenger Front = 40 1/4 in Driver Back = 39 1/8 in Passenger Back = 39 in I was going to try and remove the weight distribution pieces and see what the measurements would be, but my wife was getting impatient and wanted to move along. She wasn't terribly interested in all these towing details.:) In fact she said my perspective on measurements wasn't great to begin with. She said if I think 5 inches is more like 12 inches, then my perspective on measuring things is out of wack! :33: I may try and repeat the measurements the next time we take the trailer out and see if I can get the same results. Two data points are better than one. This setup is fine for short trips (no more than 4 hours) here and there, but for my longer trip planned next year, I will be upgrading to Deaver HD +3 and Eibach springs in the front. I'll take more measurements with that setup to see how things improved. Trailer: [ATTACH=full]151908[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
