What does a weight-distribution hitch (WDH) or load equalizing hitch do and is it compatible with my vehicle’s air levelling system?
A weight distribution hitch (aka “load equalizing hitch”) does just what the name says — it is a hitch that evenly distributes the weight of your payload. It works by using adjustable spring bars and tension to distribute the load of the trailer tongue to the trailer and vehicle axles. Many front wheel drive vehicles will require an equalizer hitch.
While our WDH may be incompatible with some vehicles with Air Levelling Suspension System, we highly recommend that our customers research and review the air bag system of your vehicle. With continually changing technology in the auto industry, each vehicle make and model specifies their own setup procedure for interfacing WDH and levelling systems.
