The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37140ET is an easy system to adjust. This system will use the standard washer system to tilt the head up or down for fit. The brackets that mount to the trailer are also very easy to install and adjust as needed. You simply want to make sure your trailer is level and your vehicle is level when the two are connected. There are just the two adjustments to make this, the tilt of the head and then the brackets on the trailer. The system will come with a step by step explanation of how to setup the system which I've attempted to link as well.
You will also want the thin walled socket # ALL643216 to install the hitch ball that comes with this system. I've attached some videos to further assist.
