Most people don't understand how to use the load leveling bars, as evidenced by how many tow vehicles and trailers you see driving around with the back of the tow vehicle sagging down.


The bars can be preloaded a lot more than many think to gain the desired effect of leveling the tow vehicle and trailer. I've seen them lift the back wheels of a truck off the ground to show how much the bars can lift.

If you crank the tongue lift up enough to bring the trailer and tow vehicle up just past level, latch the load leveling bars and then retract the tongue lift; the two vehicles should be level.

The sway away bar is another critical component to set up right.
