• Replacement Parts for Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System
  Based on your photo, it appears you have the dual cam system of the Reese Strait-Line. I researched your trailer to find a GVWR of 5895. Based on this, we can make some calculated assumptions on the tongue weight. The tongue weight of a trailer is typically 10 to 15%, so that would put you at 590 to 885 lbs. That will make the correct system the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66084. For the replacement parts you will want the following: Replacement Head...

• Recommended Chain Hanger Bracket for a EasyTow Boat Trailer
  Since you have a fairly uncommon sized tongue on your EasyTow trailer, your best bet is to use the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # RP58305. These chain hangers have a 1,400 lb tongue capacity, a 14,000 lb gross towing capacity, and will work with Reese WDS with a tongue weight capacity of up to 600 lbs. However I'm not entirely sure what you mean by towbar, so if you're referring to your trailer's frame then these won't work as they are only designed to work with...

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for Trailer with Dry Weight of 3,000 lb
  The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Most likely you'd have a tongue weight...

• Is Drilling Required to Install Husky Round Bar Weight Distribution System
  Most chain hanging weight distribution systems use a set screw to hold the chain hanging brackets in place and drilling is not required. This is the case with the Husky round bar systems as well. You will not have to drill. You will tighten the back hex bolt (set screw) by hand until you cannot turn it anymore. Then using a wrench give it another 1/4 turn.

• Can Reese Weight Distribution Lift Brackets be used on a C-Channel Frame on an Aerolite Trailer
  If your weight distribution system uses the lift brackets, like # RP21501, my contact at Reese stated that you can use it on a trailer with a C-channel frame. The 3 inch bolt is long enough that it will work with C-channel frames. So provided that it has a weight capacity that can handle your 2000 Aerolite 28 foot trailer, you will be able to use the same weight distribution system.

• Recommendation For Snap Up Replacement Brackets For Weight Distribution System
  Snap up brackets are somewhat interchangeable within their family branding. For example, the current Replacement Lift Bracket, Item # RP21501, works with the Reese family of weight distribution systems which includes Reese, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, or Pro Series. The difference between all the snap up brackets involves how heavy duty they are and what weight distribution systems they work with.

• Fit and Compatibility of Weight Distribution System Chain Lift Brackets
  There are different brackets, like the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # 58392 which will fit tongue weight capacities up to 800 lbs. This is the same bracket that comes with the # RP6637. The # RP21501 is for TW capacities up to 600 lbs. I believe the hooks are the same size, so the chains may not be correct on your system. If this is the case, I recommend the Reese Replacement Weight Distribution Chain Kit # 3216.

• What Might Cause Spring Bar Pins to Bend When Removing them From Hangers
  When you went to remove the springs bars did you use the trailer jack to lift up on the front of the trailer and relieve the spring bar tension before removing the pins? Or did you attempt to remove them with the spring bars at full tension? If so, that would be the problem that would cause the pins to become damaged.

  The Reese Lift Bracket # RP21501 is rated for Reese weight distribution (WD) systems that have a tongue weight (TW) capacity, or rating, of up to 600 lbs. These are the brackets that would be used on a WD system like the Strait-Line # RP66082 which has a TW range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs.

• Troubleshooting Bent Lift Brackets on a Reese Weight Distribution System
  It sounds to me like you will need the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems, # 58392, to keep from bending the tip up brackets with your trailer. When trailers get near the 1,000 pound tongue weight range the tip up brackets can be a bit weak for the weight of the trailer and the stiffness of the suspension on heavy duty trucks like your Ford F-250. I recommend replacing both brackets, as you will most likely bend the bracket on the right side once...
