• How do I Setup my Reese 49912 Weight Distribution System with Rear Air Bags on my 1996 Chevy Tahoe
  Both great questions! To the first yes you should re set your Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank part # RE94FR after installing the air bags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2101. As for the second question you should hook up the camper to the vehicle and level it with the air bags. Then hook up your weight distribution system. This will help to aid in your air bags and the weight distribution system working together really well and not over doing the effect.

• Backing Trailer While Using Reese RE94FR Round Bar Weight Distribution System
  It's not a matter of placing stress on the bars. When backing the trailer, especially at a sharp angle it's pretty easy to jackknife the trailer, and when it happens it happens very quickly. If you're backing the trailer at a fairly straight angle, you'll be fine.

• Frame Bracket Height Max for Reese Weight Distribution System
  The frame brackets of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR can fit frame heights of up to 8 inches. There isn't a minimum listed since you could always use a metal spacer to take up extra room as needed if the frame height was shorter than the minimum bolt spacing on the brackets.

• Distance From Hitch Ball to Brackets Needed for Reese Weight Distribution System RE94FR
  I added a cut out for you showing the distance needed from the hitch ball to the brackets for the Reese Weight Distribution System # RE94FR. As you can see, that distance needs to be between 24-1/2" and 27-1/2" for this system.
