Today in our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, we're going to be installing Reese's straight line weight distribution system with sway control. This weight distribution system is going to take the weight of your trailer and redistribute it from just being on the rear axle back here at the hitch onto both your front and rear axles. Now, you're asking, "What does this mean to me" Well, this is going to make your truck sit level. So it's going to have a lot of benefits. When your truck is loaded down in the back, it pops the front up. And that changes the geometry of your tires, and that negatively affects your handling and braking
bringing it back down to center, your geometry for your tires returns to normal, so you're getting proper contact of your tires on the road. That's going to increase the tire life by having them wear properly. It's going to restore lost handling. It's also going to help increase your braking performance, because 70% of your braking is done by the front brakes. So, if your weight isn't distributed properly, the front brakes aren't braking as much as they used to. This returns that to normal, bringing back that lost braking
's also going to just overall give you a better feel ride when you're going down the road, because the weight's going to be distributed on the front and rear more evenly.So instead of the rear taking a lot of the brunt of your trailer bouncing down the road, it's putting that on the front, as well, so you're not going to feel as much bounce going down the road.On top of all the braking and handling performance that you're restoring with this system, it's also going to help nighttime visibility, because when the back of vehicle is down, it lifts up the front of your vehicle, making your headlights point higher in the sky. Well, when your headlights are pointed up, it reduces the visibility you have across the further distance. So, by bringing it back down, your headlights are aimed properly, and you can see nice and clear at night.This system distributes the weight using the trunnion arms that are attached to the ball mount here and back on your side of your frame, your trailer. These torsion arms take the weight and reposition it, so that way it sits more evenly on both your front and rear axles. This system also comes with anti-sway, and that's really nice if you're trying to get the safest drivability when hauling a large trailer behind you.So, not only are you getting that weight distribution repositioning your vehicle, making your vehicle ride better, but you're helping to reduce the side to side sway that your trailer gets when going down the road. This is particularly important when you're on rougher roads and uneven payment. It's really going to help keep your trailer in control, which, in turn, helps you keep your vehicle in control. You now have more control over your entire rig, ensuring a safe travel to your destination.Give you an idea of how our weight distribution system is going to change our vehicle's ride height after we get it installed, we're going to take some measurements before we have our system installed, with our trailer hooked up. So at the front, here, we're measuring about 40 and a half inches from the ground to the top of our wheel wheel.And then we'll check the back. We're measuring about 41 inches. Now, we've disconnected our trailer so we can get a measurement with it unloaded. This measurement's going to be important for the install, and it's also going to be useful for us to determine how much we've improved our ride height when we didn't have our weight distribution installed. So here in the front, we're measuring about 40 and a quarter inches. In the back, we're measuring about 42 and a half inches. So we've got one and a half inches higher here in the back and we're lower in the front by about a quarter of an inch.We'll then need to level our trailer. Once you've got it parked on level ground and your trailer is level, you want to measure from the ground to the top of the ball. So you'll want to record that measurement, because we're going to be using it later. Now, we're going to need to find the center of our ball and mark it on each side. So we're going to go ahead and measure vertically, first, from the top of the ball to the bottom.
