he trailer. Set up and hook up were worlds easier then the ProPride. As for weight distribution, I was able to get my front axles within 0.5 inches of unloaded, which is Ford's spec.
Never saw that in a Ford manual, halfway does not mean 1/2 inch, mine says this:
Weight-distributing hitch
When hooking-up a trailer using a weight-distributing hitch, always use the following procedure:
1. Park the vehicle (without the trailer) on a level surface.
2. Measure the height of the top of the front wheel opening on the fender, this is H1.
3. Attach the trailer to the vehicle without the weight distributing bars connected.
4. Measure the height of the top of the front wheel opening on the fender a second time, this is H2.
5. Install and adjust the tension in the weight distributing bars so that the height of the front fender is approximately halfway between H1 andH2.
6. Check that the trailer is level. If not level, adjust the ball height accordingly and repeat Steps 3–6.
