    In this pic it looks like you have a weight distribution hitch? It looks pretty level.

    I don't use a WDH. I am already at Max payload and the Lance dealer said to try it out with out it because it adds 90lbs. I have been on 2 6000+ trips and have almost 20,000 miles of towing this trailer and it works great. My trailer is pretty small. 7' wide and about 3700lbs loaded.
    The rear sags about 1.75 inches when I hook up with the Sumos. I did however buy firestone air springs but have not installed them yet. I intend on getting the sag down to 1" with them. Also I have a 2" lift with AAL in rear and still have some rake when empty.

    I have the black ones, but when I get around to it I have the Ride Rite Air Bags in garage waiting to be installed.

    My 2 cents here for those considering. I had previously installed the sumo springs on my dclb with shell. They did not make contact unloaded as they should however they rode very harsh and stiff when in contact. I now run ride rite bags and they are awesome, smooth ride at 5 lbs and able to level up with any amount of weight. Hopefully I can help with someone’s purchase the first time.
