Is anyone here using a weight distribution hitch on their boat trailer? I am looking at buying a 200 Sundeck that weights about 4500 lbs. My Trailblazer is rated to pull 6000 lbs with a weight distribution hitch, but only 4000 lbs without.
I know that I need the type of hitch what will let the surge brake work correctly and how to set up the tongue weight. However, what I need to know is do you remove the spring arms before you launch the boat? If you do not remove the springs arms, what happens to the weight distribution on the SUV wheels when the weight is removed from the trailer?
Thanks for any feedback.
