[TheHippie]

HI, i installed my weight distribution system and hooked the 20 foot travel trailer to my 2005 4WD V8 4Runner and noticed that the front raised by almost one inch, and the back dropped by 3 inches.

Is my weight dist system not working? Did i miss something?

BTW, i didn't install the sway bars coz the trailer doesn't sway and never noticed it to sway.


thanks for any input.

You need to adjust it. It should have come with a manual, or there are plenty of instructions on google.

The hitch can only do so much...... You may need some bags for the rear.

From the pic you finally posted in the previous thread, it appears that you didn't install the spring tension bars. If they are what you mean when you refer to 'sway' bars, then your weight distribution hitch isn't doing anything. Those spring bars are NECESSARY to make the whole weight distribution thing work. Without them, all you have is a very expensive ball mount.
