When you are using a Weight Distribution (WD) system, like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37140ET, you will want to extend the trailer jack on your trailer to lift up some on both the tow vehicle and the trailer. This will relieve the pressure put on the arms and should allow you to swing them out easily.

Please keep in mind that you will want to choose a WD system with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Keep in mind that a properly loaded trailer will have a TW that is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer.

The WD system that you referenced, part # EQ37140ET, has a TW rating of 1,000 lbs - 1,400 lbs.
