Hi,
Many with new trailer weight distribution hitches make a mistake when trying to get more weight on the front axle. While it might have been important with a 1970's El Dorado car, the modern trucks really can handle a bit of load on the rear axle, and not require nearly as much weight being transferred to the front axle.
One F-250 driver reported the truck and trailer feeling like it is springing a lot, and by loosening the WD bars, it actually towed a lot easier.
So like stated above, don't worry if it tows good. My suggestion is if it does not tow good, loosen it and try again.
Your Nissan is a lightweight compared to the F-250 or Expedition, so make sure that the scale is OK with the front and rear axle weights, and they are not being exceeded once your passengers are with you.
Good luck,
Fred.
