[QUOTE="demerson3814, post: 1360915, member: 31021"] Today I spent about 4 hours trying to get my Raptor setup to tow our SxS's. It is a 20' SureTrac tandem axle - trailer, two machines and gear are ~6000lbs. I have a Equalizer 10K WDH. I tried 10+ setups and it wasn't able to get it dialed in. The front barely moved even without the WDH bars (no trailer was ~40.25", with trailer the worst was ~40.625"). The back squatted ~2.5-3" without the bars. The best I could get the back was to about 1.75-2" of squat with the front the same as pre-trailer. Is this expected? I even over adjusted to the point that the front was below the original height - same issue in the back. Any ideas on how to get this dialed in? Another headache was the live shocks. I'd get things set up and measuring right, and then start the truck and put it in gear the the shocks would soften and it would squat more. The final insult was the hitch slots for the safety chains - they are tiny with no room for the clevis hooks on the trailer. Any ideas on other options? I think any clevis hook would need to be very small to fit the slots properly. [/QUOTE]
