[Minnie's Mate]

When I first got mine (set up by dealer) I thought I needed to raise L-brackets to increase the upward force on the spring bars to transfer some of the weight to the front axles. In my mind it would be like applying more force to the the spring bars as if you were lifting up on the handles of a wheel barrow with the rear axle as the pivot point. Turns out I was wrong. By lowering the L-brackets (moving the brackets down so the square headed screw is in a higher hole), I increased the load on the front axle and decreased the load on the rear axle.

When I load the bed of my truck, I raise L-brackets by moving the square headed screw to a lower hole in the L-bracket. One adjustment that was made was to add a washer behind the hitch head to tilt it away from the tow vehicle. This also helped to transfer weight to the front axle.

Apparently there is a good bit of adjustment that needs to be made between the dry weight of the trailer when the dealer set up the hitch and after we added all of our traveling gear and gas to the LP tanks.
