You know when this hitch is set up correctly the trailer should be level, the truck should drop nearly equal front to rear, and the spring bars should be level with the trailer tongue. It might take some trial and error to get a proper setup with your new truck.
According to the Equal-I-zer Owners Manual:
Step 7 - Weight Distribution Adjustments:
WARNING
Weight distribution is only one of many things that influence sway. The operator is responsible for making necessary adjustments to all contributing factors in order to minimize sway.
Good adjustment:
You have most likely achieved good weight distribution adjustment if your measurement on Line C of the weight distribution setup table shows that front wheel well measurement is at least halfway back to the original uncoupled measurement. See Line C on Weight Distribution Setup Table (p. 16) and Figure 19 below. It should never be lower than Line A.
