• Can Higher Capacity Spring Bars be Used in Place of Original Bars on Reese Strait-Line System
  Looking at the weights you have provided the dry tongue weight of 870 pounds is 11 percent of the empty gross trailer weight of 7,809 pounds. So if loaded to 9,670 pounds then 11 percent of that would be 1,064 pounds which is still well within the capacity of system # RP66074 (600 to 1,200 pounds). However, when calculating tongue weight for weight distribution you also have to add in the weight of anything carried behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. So it is possible that if you...

• If Tongue Weight is at the Spring Bar Max Capacity Does a Weight Distribution System Still Work
  If your tongue rating is right at 1,200 lbs you estimate then I would recommend going to a 1,500 lb spring bar like the Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar # RP58369 since you are probably over your 1,200 lb rating in actuality. A weight distribution system over its capacity will not be effective at all. If you are right at your capacity it's probably a good time to upgrade. I would recommend you determine your tongue weight. Check out the FAQ article I attached that details how to do this.

• Weight Distribution for a Trailer with Varying Tongue Weight from 400 to 1,500 Pounds
  No worries, I can help you out with this issue. It is a common question, a varying load. There are weight distribution systems that have a tongue weight capacity range. The widest range is 600 to 1,200 pounds. There is also an 800 to 1,500 pound system. Considering that you can potentially have 1,500 pounds tongue weight you will need a system that goes at least that high. There is a Blue Ox system, # BXW1500, that is rated for up to 1,500 pounds tongue weight and requires a minimum of...

• Will Lift Brackets of Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System Need to Be Moved for Trunnion Bars
  According to the folks at Reese, when one of their trunnion bar weight distribution systems like the # RP66074 is installed, the center of the snap up brackets would sit about 29-1/2 inches rearward of the center line of the trailer ball, give or take a 1/4 of an inch. If your current system uses the Reese Heavy Duty round bars, they are the same length as the trunnion bars so your snap up brackets would already be in the correct location. If you have a Pro Series round bar system, those...

• A Lot of Trailer Sway Using Reese Strait-Line System on 2015 Ford F-150 and Jayco Jayflight 28BHBE
  The important thing to remember about a Strait-Line weight distribution system is that dual-cam sway control is very effective as long as you have it fine-tuned. Since you were getting so much sway that can mean that you need to make some adjustments. You also need to have a system that is appropriately rated for the total tongue weight which is the combined weight of the loaded trailer tongue weight and the weight of anything carried behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If your...

• Can Pro Series Weight Distribution System be Upgraded to Work with 1,200 lb Tongue Weight Trailer
  I have a solution for you, but Pro Series does not offer spring bars high enough for the tongue weight of your trailer. So what we can help you do is replace the head of your system with the part # RP58167 so that you can go to a higher rated spring bar like the # RP58369 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 to 1,500 lbs which would be perfect for your 1,200 lb tongue weigh setup. For chains and u-bolts for the springs you also would want the part # 55630 and you'd be set.

• Upgrading Reese Spring Bar Recommendation for Tongue Weight Over 800 lb
  Most likely you'd need to upgrade the spring bars, but in reality it depends on how much tongue weight you'll end up with when loaded. If the trailer won't have much cargo loaded on it at all and the tongue weight stays under 800 lbs you'd be fine. But if you end up over 800 like I think you will you'd want to upgrade the bars to the trunnion 600-1,200 lb bars like part # RP58369 which will work with the Dual Cam setup you have as well.

• Can the Reese RP66540 be Used on Several Different Vehicles?
  The chain style weight distribution systems, like the Reese # RP66540, will be easier to swap between vehicles and trailers, so I do suggest going with one of these systems. That being said, the rise or drop needed as well as the weight capacity needed will play into everything. If the same trailer will be towed by these vehicles, you can skip this part, but if they are different, we do have higher rated spring bars. As an example, the # RP58369 will be rated up to 1,500 pounds of tongue...

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for Tow Hauler with Tongue Weights from 500 to 1,500 Pounds
  Since the tongue weight of your trailer will vary from around 500 pounds up to 1,500 pounds I recommend getting one system and an additional set of spring bars so that you can cover that whole range. There isn't a system that covers that whole range with just one set of spring bars. I recommend starting with Reese Strait-Line system # RP66083 rated for 400 to 800 pounds tongue weight for when the trailer is empty and your tongue weight is around 500 pounds. Then, when the tongue weight...

• Best Way to Correct Rear End Squat in 2002 Suburban Towing 2005 Fleetwood 26FS Toy Hauler
  Toy hauler trailers like your 2005 Fleetwood Gearbox 26FS can be a bit trickier than your average trailer when it comes to tuning a weight distribution (WD) and/or sway control set-up. Since the wheeled cargo in a toy hauler might be positioned a foot or two more or less forward in the trailer on different occasions, it is possible for tongue weight (TW) to vary a bit. TW is the single most important factor when choosing a WD system, and if the spring bars on your system are not stiff enough...

  The Reese # RP58369 1500 lb spring bar is a compatible replacement if you were planning on towing a trailer with a lower tongue weight. The 58369 is the same length as the # 66010, so the frame brackets wouldn't need to be relocated and the Dual Cam arms wouldn't need to be adjusted.
