First I would look up "Weight Distribution Hitch Balance" in this forum for good advice that will help how well your trailer will tow. On my Anti-Sway bar it says to tighten down on the bar until the threads are showing. From this setting you can tow trailer and see how this affects use on the free way. The trailer will tow best when the weight distribution hitch is set up properly and the Anti-Sway bar is set up. Also grease the attachment balls and hitch ball with some heavy bearing grease. Wipe off when you unhitch so it will not get on your cloths. Also take off the Anti-Sway bar before you back trailer up!
