Is 1" of Rear Sag on 2012 Ford F-250 Okay When Using Weight Distribution System

Question

Question:

Hooked it up I have a Airstream 23FB + 2012 Ford F-250. Only sags 1” in the rear. Is that acceptable? Oh and according to my level rear bumper to hitch is almost perfectly level. Thank you.

From everything you've said it looks like you have a properly rated and set up Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution (WD) System, like part # BXW1006. You want to shoot for as close to stock height as possible for your tow vehicle but it's basically impossible so the best case scenario is getting it within an inch which is what you've accomplished.
