Mercedes-Benz GLE tow vehicle

Kaz, here’s the pics of the GLE for reference.
With your E2 weight distribution attached you should see no squat at all. measure the fender height with and without trailer attached. should be identical. ours is air ride but you get the idea.

Wow that looks way different. Our rear drops at 2 inches with the weight distribution hitch on and that happened at the dealer before loading up the trailer. I'll post up a pic once I reconnect.

Also, the dealer used a 9 inch rise to get it level.

I’m thinking if the rear still squats 2” with weight distribution installed the weight distribution is not happening properly (the whole point of the system)

9” rise seems an awfull lot for that car I’m at 5”
if it’s indeed a 9” rise it may be the reason for a problematic ride. setup issue

interested in seeing the picture.

When able measure the front fender height from the pavement before hookup and after. ideally no difference or very little.
