If your Husky Centerline weight distribution hitch (WDH) model # HT32217 is not leveling your 2018 Armada you'll want to confirm that it is rated correctly for the actual total tongue weight (TW) of your towing system and that it is set up correctly. You may care to check out the linked demo video.

This particular WDH works with trailer TW from 600 to 800-lbs. You can measure your loaded trailer's TW using scale # e99044. To your measured trailer TW you need to add the weight of any cargo in the Armada that sits behind the rear axle, such as a generator or loaded cooler, since this cargo acts like trailer TW. If you find you need heavier bars, then you can use two of part # HT32329 which will upgrade the hitch to a TW range of 800 to 1200-lbs.

Once you've confirmed your total TW is within the system's rated range then you can check over your installation to ensure the head height and head angle are correct and that the frame brackets are at the right height to provide bar tension. Please refer to the linked instructions and to the image taken from them that shows the results you should see from the Centerline once installed and adjusted correctly.
