Proper Equipment & Safe Tie-Down Practices - Trailering 101
|
11. Pull the vehicle to the tie-down point (if you load one vehicle regularly, consider properly rated tie-down rings, installed properly to a strong metal deck). Use caution to make sure the tongue (hitch ball) load is correct. If too heavy, the rear springs of the tow vehicle will compress too much. Too light a tongue weight, and the trailer will rock rearward and weave - or possibly go out of control on a curvy road. With a load distribution hitch, I placed slightly more weight than is customary toward the hitch end of the trailer. When I adjust the torsion bars, the tow vehicle will level out.
