How to Keep the Rear End of a 2017 Ford Explorer from Sagging When Towing a Trailer
Question:
I have a single axle camper and the tongue is so low I cant use my Reese weight distribution system. I would only have a couple inches ground clearance on the bars and maybe 6.5 inches to bottom of the head. Is there an alternative way to cure my squatting issue on the tow vehicle?

I didn't see any vehicle information but if you are still using a 2017 Ford Explorer you could add some suspension enhancement to the rear end. I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System item # TFRFLX. These hollow rubber springs keep your rear end from squatting when you're towing a trailer. They have a 3,000 lbs load leveling capacity that progressively engages the springs the more weight you add to the rear of your SUV.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this system set up.
If you changed vehicles since you sent in your previous question feel free to email me back with the year, make, and model and I would be happy to find something for you.
