Will Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution SnapUp Brackets Fit 5x1-3/4 Inch C Channel Trailer Frame
Question:
I just purchased the #66073 system for towing a 2004 Fleetwood Mallard Lite 25J travel trailer with my 09 Dodge Dakota. Will the chain snap up brackets included in this system mate properly onto the 5 x 1 3/4 C section frame of this trailer?

Expert Reply:
The snap up brackets included in the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution system will fit up to 2-1/4 inch wide channel frames. The height does not matter. As long as there is enough clearance up at the nose of the trailer frame, you should not have a problem. Sometimes propane tanks or lock boxes on the nose of the trailer will prevent the brackets from being installed in the proper location. The chains need to be vertical. The connection point of the chain on the spring bar should be directly below the hook on the snap up brackets.
I have included a link to the instructions for you to look over.
