Appendix – Using a Weight Distribution
Hitch with Auto-Leveling Suspensions
Always refer to and follow your tow vehicle owner's manual or air bag instructions for their
requirements for use while towing. Auto Leveling will greatly affect your towing situation.
Step 1 - Ready the Tow Vehicle and Trailer
Turn off or disable air bag suspension or auto-leveling systems for the hitch setup process.
Allow the suspension to adjust to normal position before turning it off. To turn the auto level
off, the system may have an off switch, a jack mode setting, or you may need to turn off the
vehicle.
Steps 6 and 7 – Set Up and Adjust Weight Distribution
4 Corner Auto-Leveling Suspension:
4-corner auto leveling systems will decrease the weight distribution amount by 20 — 25%. If it
is possible to disable the auto leveling so that it remains off while driving, do so. If not, then set
up the hitch so that 75 — 100% weight distribution is achieved. This will help compensate for
the loss from auto leveling.
Rear Auto-Leveling Suspension:
When using rear auto-leveling suspension systems follow the instructions to Step 6 - line
C. Allow the vehicle to auto level the rear before taking measurement C. On hydraulic or
pneumatic systems this is done by turning the vehicle on and letting the engine idle while it
levels. If your vehicle is equipped with a system that requires the tow vehicle to be driven, mark
where it is parked so that you can return to the same spot after driving to take measurement C.
Step 8 - Trailer Pitch Adjustment
After achieving good weight distribution with auto level engaged, the trailer pitch may need to
be adjusted. Measure the trailer as described in Step 8 and make any required adjustments to
the hitch setup.
Hitching Up and Unhitching
Before hitching or unhitching, turn off the auto-level system by turning off the vehicle or, if
equipped, placing the system in jack mode.
