Okay, when towing my boat which weighs in at around 13k pounds, I am having major difficulties driving at night due to headlight angle. I know nothing about Weight distributing hitches, and am wondering if that could be the fix I need. My truck has a 6inch lift so I don't think I can add airbags. Any help on what to do will be greatly appreciated.

That is really an incredible looking rig, altough the boat would look better behind my red dually;)


Definately use a weight distributing hitch with that much load. I pulled a 7000 pound car trailer with my lowered F150 and the hitch made all the difference in the world. It will also make the trailer feel much more stable with less sway. Get the 1000# bars and you won't ever regret it:cool:
 
If you are pulling a 13K trailer with no WD bar, you greatly exceeding the hitch capacity of the truck. Even with WD bars you will be over the rating. Nice boat.
 
If you don't do any welding you can check at any welding shop and they can easily and probably fairly inexpensively make you some brackets for air bags. That being said, I would still get a weight distributing hitch along with the airbags.
