One of the first things I noticed with our Vegas 24.1 is that addition of 5500 lb open race car trailer did not drop hitch much at all. Even on 1st trip to scale with 890 lbs of tongue weight, it moved 1//2 inch. After moving car and steel ramps to get within proper tongue weight it moves 3/8".

My previous tow vehicle (2007 Suburban LT) required addition of air bags after 8 years to get hitch/handling back to original. I am wondering if Vegas spring will need assist in time considering it is already carrying a lot of static weight 12,800 or so with everything for track.

I do look at distance from tire to fender as an indicator if spring settling. Tire wear, mainly front is excellent at present.
