The process involves fine-tuning a specialized towing system designed to evenly redistribute the weight exerted by a trailer across the axles of the tow vehicle and the trailer itself. This typically includes manipulating adjustable components such as spring bars, hitch head angle, and chain link connections to achieve a balanced load. Properly configuring this system ensures safer and more stable towing performance.
Correct weight distribution is paramount for maintaining vehicle control, reducing sway, and preventing excessive wear on tires and suspension components. Historically, solutions were less sophisticated, leading to compromised safety and handling. Modern systems offer enhanced adjustability, improving towing experiences and promoting safer road travel for both recreational and commercial applications.
