Adjusting a Weight Distribution System for Best Performance  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Reese Weight Distribution System, # RP66022, has several points of adjustability depending on your application. The head unit can be tilted toward or away from the trailer which will raise or lower the spring bars. The head can also be adjust vertically and the spring bar chains can be adjusted. What you are looking for is a level trailer with the spring bars parallel with the trailer frame or pointed down slightly. Ideally, you will want 5 chain links between the spring bars and hanger brackets.

This requires some trial and error to find just the right setting for your application. I have included a link to the installation details below that explain setting up the system. I have also included some videos below that show a weight distribution system being set up/adjusted, and an FAQ article on weight distribution.
