I pull my TT with a Class V to Class IV no WD due to new truck being DRW and never had an issue.
Trailer is about 6k.

Fyi to all e2 or equalizer you can buy the 2.5" shank from equalizer (fastway) and it will work ( you can email e2 [fastway] for confirmation that's what I did )
If you read your manual it states over 5k trailer weight wdh is REQUIRED (bumper pull obviously)
If your not using it, and you are in an accident, the lawyers will love your case.......
"Recommended" in mine. No WDH available to work with pintle hitches, and that's what my heavy trailers have. ZERO issues bumper towing at 14K with that setup.
I have experienced problems with my OEM Ram hitch on my 2500 Heavy Duty Ram.
I am towing 10k total weight and the hitch pin just started to get out of round from reducer movement.
I decided to purchase a new Curt heavy duty commercial 2 inch receiver hitch that can be attached to the truck just below the OEM 2.5 receiver.
The reason I will not remove the factory hitch is due to it being the last cross member frame piece on the frame and I believe it will more beneficial to leave it on the truck and only use 2.5 receivers in it from now on.
I removed the metal burs from the receiver and I can now remove the reducer that was stuck inside the hitch.

I do stand corrected, I thought when I read my manual it stated required (as all others I have read did, ) but I was mistaken, sorry.
I know what your saying, but a using the WD hitch bars would be useless.
The trailer sits level and rides great.
The only thing I put on is the sway bar.
