Weight Distribution Installation on a Cadillac Escalade EXT with Auto Leveling Suspension
Question:
I have a 2016 Escalade with auto level. I have read the previous response to let the suspension auto level first, as is stated in the manual also. Another question i have: once the auto level has happened, how far up do i lift the trailer tongue while still attached to hook up the distribution bars?

You would need to basically just follow the procedure listed in the instructions for whichever weight distribution system you go with. Once you allow the auto-leveling of the vehicle do it's thing you would then just go through the setup procedure as it is outlined in the instructions. Since the procedure is a little different for each WD system and I am not entirely sure which system you have that's as specific as I can be.
If you check out the install video I attached for the # RP66542 that you referenced you can see how this system is set up.
