Re: [VAC] SUV"s for towing

Equilizer (weight distributing) hitches DO NOT lever against the rear 
suspension.
If you look at the lever involved it is pulling the rear of the car UP. The 
lever is connected to the rear frame through the hitch and extends past the 
ball toward the trailer where it is lifted by a connection to the trailer 
tongue thus lifting both the trailer tongue and the rear suspension by 
putting down force on the front of the car and the trailer wheels.
