Greetings all, I have a Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch (non-round bar type). Was originally setup for a Honda Pilot about a year ago. We got a new vehicle and when connected the tongue is ...

Hey 240vPlug,
Welcome to the forum. Hopefully folks notice that this is your first post here and they take it easy on you. Sometimes the well-meaning members get a little intense and it feels personal.
It's not personal yet. They haven't gotten to know you well enough to be rude yet.
Kidding.
I hope you find your answers and get to enjoy your camping.

Thanks Dave! I do appreciate all the responses. Even the judgmental responses are fine...I realize those folks that don't write it probably still think it...its fine. I was prepared for the comments about the Rivian. I actually enjoy working on my own stuff. I have read the manual and know how to take the measurements. I think I am just going to go at it with a breaker bar.
I actually have two Rivians. I have the truck and the SUV. I towed it with the truck and it was excellent (couldn't even tell it was back there) though I still think she was nose up a bit because the tongue jack had to go all the way up to get the spring bars out. The SUV, despite riding on the same platform, seem even more nose up. This is why I didn't measure and adjust before setting out because I assumed that the SUV would be the same as the truck. The SUV will probably tow it most of the time (Wife's SUV). The Rivian SUV has a shorter wheelbase so a slightly lower tow rating of 7700. The Rivian Truck is rated to 11,000.
I do realize there will be some sway but the reason I want to adjust now is because even other cars and pickups were causing sway...of course to a lesser extent than the big rigs. I never felt like I was going to lose control but there obviously isn't enough weight on the tongue and I want to fix that before driving back if possible.
