Steps for Adjusting Tension on Pro Series Weight Distribution System # 49570
Question:
I have a 2010 Nissan Titan and recently installed the weight distribution assembly 49570. I some of the instructions I reviewed it was noted you do not want more that an inch of on the rear portion of your vehicle measured to rear fender well. After I completed the installation I noted a of 1 3/4 inches. What can I do to reduce this amount of compression? thanks,

It sounds like once you installed the Pro Series Weight Distribution System, # 49570, you have re-measure the distance from the reference points on your Titan's wheel wells to the ground and are coming up with a difference of 1-3/4 inches.
Since the measurement for the front should be nearly equal to that in rear, with no more than 1/2" difference, if the front of your vehicle is lower than the rear, increase the number of chain links between the spring bars and the lift brackets until the height is about even. If there are no more links available for adjustment, angle the weight-distribution head assembly up to correct the height difference.
If the rear of your vehicle is lower than the front, reduce the number of chain links between the spring bars and the lift brackets until the height is about even.
I have included an article which covers these steps for making adjustments.
