weight distrubution question

[shotgunner]

TV is a 2010 GMC 4X4 crew cab short bed pulling a TT that weighs 5720 dry weight with approx. 600 lb tongue weight.Where do I set my weight distrubution bar ?Only towed for a short distance so not for sure where to set it at. My next question is how tight do I tighten by sway bars? Very new at this so any help will be appreciated.

Do an internet search for the manufacturer of the hitch. You should be able to find installation instructions and trouble-shooting tips. If the manufacturer is Equal-i-zer, they have very good site for info.

Reese has great instructions too if that is what you have. Here are the key factors IMO. First, the ball height on your truck is key. It should be about 1 inch higher than the top of the inside of your trailer coupler when the trailer is level. This assumes your truck will drop about 1 inch when hooked to the trailer. Then your WD bars should be adjusted to the point where your trailer is level; and your truck drops the same amount (about 1 inch) at both the front and rear. That's kind of the "Cliff's Notes" version! But make sure to read your manufacturer instructions!! They might vary from what I just said and should be your primary source of information.
