Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2019 Chevy Tahoe
Question:
I will be towing a Salem FSX 178bhhs 3750 GVW and tongue weight of 430 lbs. Which distribution/sway bar system do you recommend? Also, I am looking for extended 66 or 72 inch cross bars for same vehicle. Do you have an recommendations? Is there an after market roof rail that has adjustable attachment points rather than GMs 3 set points of attachment? Thanks.

I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37061ET for your travel trailer. This system has integrated 4-point sway control and uses clamp-on brackets so there is no need to drill into the trailer frame. The tongue weight capacity for this system is 200-600 lbs so your 430 lbs tongue weight falls nicely in the middle.
All of the available roof racks have fixed mounting. If that works for you, there are options with longer bars. I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack which will require # Y00148 as well as # Y00243 for the base of the rack. You will also need # Y00427 which will be your 70" long crossbars.
I have attached a review of the Equal-i-zer for your reference.
