• Can Curt Chain Hanger Brackets be Used with a Pro Series Weight Distribution System
  Although each Weight Distribution (WD) system manufacturer has their own chain brackets, they are a pretty universal fit. The Curt hangers, parts # C17003, # C17005, and # C17008, haven't been tested with a Pro Series WD system but they should fit and work just fine. If you would rather go with chain hangers from Pro Series then you would need to go with part # PS58362.

• Do Alternate Chain Lift Brackets C17003 Change Setup of Weight Distribution Hitch
  Using a different chain hanger bracket like # C17003 or # C17005 (that bolt on) for a weight distribution system may mean that the number of chain links will change. In this case the number of links does not matter; what matters is that the system be set up so that it still gives you the appropriate tension on the spring bars to level your vehicle and trailer.

• Weight Distribution System for 5,000 Pound V-Nose Trailer

These will mount to the side of the trailer frame (instead of the top) to provide an alternate attachment point for the spring bars on a weight distribution system. Each weight distribution system will list a recommended distance from the hitch ball to where the lift brackets should...

• Would the Curt Chain Hanger part # C17003 fit 3 Inch Channel Trailer Frame
  Actually the inside width of the frame channels of the Curt Hangers part # C17003 that you referenced is 3-3/16 inches so it would only be a little bit wider than the 3 inch channel of your trailer frame.

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue...

• Can L-Brackets Be Used Instead Of Chain Hangers For Chain Spring Bars?
  For chain type spring bar weight distribution hitches you must use a Chain Hanger # C17003. The L-Brackets # BLU42QR can only be used for systems designed to ride on this type of bracket. I recommend matching your manufactures for the spring bars and the hangers to ensure everything is compatible.
