Owners of Anderson no sway hitch
Recently I have been reading about the Anderson no sway hitch and since it's been out for a couple of years now and has been improved or updated over time. I know some of you here are using this hitch...

In their literature, they say you just adjust until the "spring" is compressed 1/4". Is there more to it than that?
I've never taken an exact measurement on the spring compression.
The measurements I was taking, were wheel wells and bumper heights. The owners manual for the truck, specifies a certain amount of height / weight restoration on the front axle.
Once I was within specs on the truck, the spring looked to be about 1/4", but, I didn't measure it. While the setup was within truck specs, I counted the number of threads exposed on the tension bolts.
When I hitch up now, I tighten the tension nuts until I have that number of threads exposed on both sides. It's faster and easier than measuring.
I didn't mention a specific number on the threads, because, that number will vary, from one rig to another.
