Hot damn Dallas. That is one nice truck. My 2018 manual said 1,000 miles before towing. So went out and had fun cruising around with 450 HP and no trailer

Even though I took the Mo down and set it on the truck with my old hitch and found decent clearance I was losing sleep over knowing for sure that the truck MO would "set right" while towing. I got the Ford OEM Reese hitch and fretted about the lack of adjustment available. I took delivery last Monday and today was the first opportunity I had to set MO on the truck. I totally boneheaded the hitch up with the new hitch, the good news was the sewer pipes cleared the parking block when I slid MO back about a foot trying to force a hookup when the jaws were not correct on the new hitch. Cheap lesson, only embarrassed.
After all is hitched up and the squat accomplished I had 5 inches of clearance (1 more than my chevy), but I was slightly nose down, not enough to cause immediate problems but enough for me to start researching air bags. The first will be the maiden pull over Sisters Pass in Oregon, that's where I will find out if my reasoning is, well, reasonable.
It sets pretty high, we do technical rock climbing so are working on different techniques to get into the truck, I like to do a heel hook and roll, DW is head on giant step. Or little dog can no longer jump into the truck without assistance. Changes. None of my Chevy accesories fits, so I will be adding more stuff as time goes on.
I now know for sure this truck will work for us. Hopefully I will start sleeping better.Dallas

Congratulations on the new truck Dallas.
You might want to look at Air Lift with the remote control. It helps when you're going down one of those old highways and start getting that chucking......just add or remove 10 psi on the fly and it all smooths out. https://www.airliftcompany.com/products/SOLD my 2017 Momentum 376TH being pulled by a 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat, FX-4, Crew Cab, Longbed, Dually. Not pulling the 5er, catch me on my 2013 CVO Harley Ultra Classic.

Dallas not sure if your truck is squatting 2" or maybe only an inche and your Momentum is down an additional inch in the front? After getting my individual wheels weighed, my truck sit level with the Air Lift (55-60 psi) but my Momentum was still low in the front (barely noticable). Raised my hitch 1" and now everything is level.

It's definitely a work in progress, the good news is that all of my angst about bed rail clearance has been put to rest, now it's just a matter of tweaking things to perfection. I still have not towed. I am looking forward to pitting the 4:30 rear end to an 8% grade, it's still possible I made a $60k error. That would sour my milk. But so far it's been a good decision.
