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.
Excellent posting great explanation
Great system, volvo uses them 👍

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...
