Weight Distribution hitch s/u with air bags

I find it interesting that no one has mentioned calling the manufacture and asked them about using air bags and the proper adjusting procedure. I purchased and installed my Equalizer brand WDH. I called the Equalizer tech and found them to be very helpful. After three call I was satisfied that I had installed their product properly.

That's because most people don't. They would rather read all of the mis-information posted on line and then post a message asking for help because it didn't work. That's evident by the posts we read about tweaking the hitch, playing with different chain tensions, using a WD hitch to level the truck, and the list goes on.

The proper procedure for using bags is to use them to adjust the level of the vehicle to suit the user, usually level THEN adjust the WD to return the weigh to the front axle that hitching the trailer removes. Many adjust the hitch, then adjust the airbags until the truck "looks right", and then call it good. We just can't seem to get the point across that any time you change the amount of squat on the TV, you change the amount of tilt on the hitch ball and the amount of tension on the bars. Consequently, the WD is never right and we get to continue reading the entertaining posts on here.
