Recommended Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control for a 5,200 lbs Travel Trailer
Question:
I need an anti sway, weight distribution hitch for a 1977 Airstream Sovereign weight about 5200 lbs being towed with a 2019 Nissan Armada. The ball needs to be a 2 5/16. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
For a weight distribution system that has built in sway control you are going to want the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BLU82XR. This system has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 800 lbs which is typically 10% - 15% of your trailer's total weight.
The Blue Ox system uses L-brackets that keep the spring bars in place for a rigid system that holds your trailer in line. A 2-5/16" hitch ball is included along with a 2" shank that has a maximum drop of 2-3/4" and a maximum rise of 6-1/2".
