OK, Who pulls their Monty with a 2011 3500HD

Does anyone on this board pull their Montana with a 2011 3500HD? I am very curious just how much squat you get when the trailer is on the truck. When you hitch up, do the overload springs engage the frame?

Lastly what hitch do you have and how level does the Montana ride?

Thanks!

Bob, you're in luck. I just measured my squat at TrailAir this week. With the Monty on the Hitch the back of the truck dropped 1 inch, just enough for the overload/helpers to engage the bumpers. The Monty rides pretty much level with 6 inches clearance between bed rails and underside of the Monty. Remember my truck is a 3500 DRW 4X4 Extended Cab with 235R80/17 All Terrain tires. The hitch is a Reese Select 20K
