I have a question about this. My Dodge Durango R/T has Nivomat self-leveling, and it seems to defeat the benefits of a weight-distribution harness when towing a heavy trailer. The WDH attempts to leverage enough upward tension on the rear of the tow vehicle, to re-distribute weight to its front axle. However after driving a short distance, the Nivomat gradually extends the rear suspension enough to loosen the WDH spring bar tension. As a result, less weight is transferred, and I can actually feel the driving dynamics change as the front gets lighter and the rear gets heavier. Is there a way to defeat this?
Our 2005 chrysler has original nivomats still working perfectly. Our 2015 blew the nivomats at less than 60k kms.
Great system, volvo uses them 👍
Excellent posting great explanation

Try adding one more trailer 😂😂😂
But the shocks cost 4 times the conventional style
Almost anything that provides benefits cost more :)
Why is this in my recommendation...
