In this video I’m walking through the first step of moving my weight distribution hitch setup from one tow vehicle to another. If you’ve been following along, you know “Gunner” (my 2004 Chevy Express van) has been a great tow rig, but I recently picked up a 2023 Tahoe LT with the max towing package—this one’s “Vernon.” The big issue is ride height: Gunner sits about 12 inches lower in the back than Vernon, so my old hitch drop wasn’t going to work without changes. I show you exactly how I tackled it: I removed my old Equal-i-zer-style drop, tried flipping it, and found it still wouldn’t go low enough for the correct ball height. That meant buying a new 2-inch drop—making sure the bolt-hole pattern matched my existing weight distribution hitch hardware. From there, I measured to keep the ball height consistent (I used about 19 inches from the top bolt hole down to the ground) so I could get close to my previous towing setup. The main takeaway is simple: start by setting correct ball height (either match your old vehicle or level your trailer and measure the coupler height). Then, in part two, I’ll take the rig to a flat parking lot to fine-tune spring-arm tension and get both the Tahoe and the camper level—because towing unlevel can hurt handling and lead to sway.
