Hey John, so the correct amount of spring bar tension will be based on the trailer's tongue weight and how it affects the suspension of your Nissan Frontier. Every WD system is a little different but what it comes down to typically is measuring the amount of suspension sag the vehicle has with the tongue weight of the trailer on the hitch ball and then adjusting the spring bars until the rear suspension sits at the same height it did before the trailer was put on the hitch ball.
