Can Weight Distribution be Used on Vehicle with Auto Leveling Suspension
Question:
I am looking at getting a bumper pull camper 2018 KEYSTONE HIDEOUT 27DBSWE. I currently have a 2015 Ram Crew Laramie 4x4 with factory Air Ride 4 corner suspension. When hooked up, the pickup will auto level. My question is how do you correctly install an equalizer hitch with factory air suspension? I believe I can disable the air suspension from auto leveling, so my thought would be to install the trailer, then install the spring bars on the hitch, then turn on the air ride suspension to level it out any further. Question 1 -That being said, is that correct? Question 2 - When the pickup auto levels, it levels all 4 corners. Could this damage the pickup, trailer, or hitch when the pickup attempts to level the pickup lifting the rear even more with the spring bars on the hitch installed. Not sure if my question/concern makes sense. In simpler terms, is it OK for the pickup to lift the rear of the pickup after the equalizer hitch is completely installed. Question 3 - Assuming the correct install method is to install the hitch and allow the pickup to auto level afterward When the pickup levels after the hitch is completely installed, would this actually reduce the stresses on the bars? If so, would you install the whole thing differently?

Expert Reply:
You will want to set the trailer on the hitch ball by itself first without the WD system attached to let the auto-level do it's thing.
Once settled then you would go about setting up the system. For more information on that check out the install video I attached plus the install instructions link that is attached as well.
