Can Weight Distribution Be Setup on Vehicle that Has Auto Leveling Rear Suspension
Question:
Purchased the above from you yesterday. I have a 2015 RAM 2500 with rear auto-leveling. What is the correct way to measure and adjust the WD with the auto leveling feature enabled? I use the rear auto-leveling feature whenever towing and would like to continue using it with the new EQ WD hitch, just not sure the correct process for taking the measurements and adjusting the EQ WD. Once I connect the trailer the auto-leveling kicks in and adjust my trucks level so the same measurements I took of front and rear wheel wells has changed since the truck auto leveled out when the trailer load was connected. When I connect the WD bars the truck will once again auto-level so not sure if the actual weight distribution is adjusted correctly

Expert Reply:
What you'll want to do is put the full tongue weight of your trailer onto the rear suspension of your vehicle so that the auto-level feature engages. Once it's settled you'd then go and install and setup the weight distribution. Ideally you'd have it basically already installed minus setting the spring bar angle to achieve the proper amount of spring bar tension.
