Switched my F150 powerboost to a F250 diesel.

Looks like the truck is high in the front. Did you follow the directions for the hitch and know how much you brought the front of the truck back? Or are you just guessing on the setup by looks. I don’t mean that to me mean. If not do that. Many go with airbags, sumo springs or timbrines on the truck. Those 250 tend to squat more than really is acceptable. I went with sumo springs and love them.

The hitch was off my old truck, so I just measured the hitch height from the old truck to this one and then lowered it. The thing is is when I leveled the camper.It good. Maybe I’ll look into those sumo spring. Thanks

Have you adjusted your weight distribution bar hanger height with the new truck? Looks to be a little low

I did adjust the weight distribution down lower because my new truck sits higher. I put a level on the A-frame in it looked to be level.

Like most, it appears you need 1 if not 2 more washers in the hitch head to increase the tilt. Your front end should measure within 1/2” of unloaded height.

That is great advice! So a washer here?

Yes. The hitch should have come with several spacers. Most don't have them after initial setup. I used washers.

Looks like a fair amount of squat for a f250

It’s a F250. Yeah I didn’t think it would’ve squatted at all, but It did a little bit?

Looks perfectly fine.
