• Can Brackets for TorkLift SuperHitch Everest be Cut and Welded to Larger Trailer Frame
  I reached out to my contact at TorkLift and he said that the brackets for the TorkLift SuperHitch Everest Weight Distribution System # TLWD1000 measure just under 4" when it comes to width. He did say that if the brackets don't fit your trailer frame then you can indeed cut off that smaller "ear" that sits on the inside of the frame and weld the brackets on. Attached is a photo he sent me showing where the welds need to be, and they would need to be done by a professional. Please note...

• Weight Distribution for 15,000 Pound Amped Trailer and 2012 Ram 3500
  To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. A trailer that weighs 11,000 pounds would have a tongue weight around 1,100 to 1,650 pounds (10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight). Using a 1,200 pound system is not recommended because even unloaded...

• Weight Distribution Hitch for 35-foot Toy Hauler with Tongue Weight Near 2000-lbs
  The key to selecting a properly-rated weight distribution system, one that will deliver the correction required without resulting in a jumpy or erratic ride quality, is to determine the trailer's tongue weight when it is fully loaded with all toys, equipment, supplies, etc, just as it will be when you hit the road. A system that is too soft will not deliver the weight re-distribution to your tow vehicle's front end; a system that is too stiff can result in odd handling characteristics,...

• Weight Distribution System Needed for a Trailer with a Tongue Weight of 2,300 lbs.
  If the loaded tongue weight (TW) of your trailer is around 2,300 lbs then any weight distribution (WD) system that is rated for a max of 1,200 lbs TW will not be strong enough to help out at all. Check your TW to ensure that it is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. If it isn't you need to move stuff around until you achieve the 10-15% area. If it is already 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer then the only WD system that we have that will help is the TorkLift SuperHitch...

• Recommended Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver And Weight Distribution System For 2017 Ford F-250
  Congratulations on the new toy hauler! You are correct that since your toy hauler has a tongue weight of rating of you will need to change the trailer hitch receiver on your 2017 Ford F-250 to one with a capacity, but you will want to check in the owner's manual to verify the capacities of your truck and use the lower rating between the hitch and vehicle.

• Compatibility of TorkLift SuperHitch Everest Weight Distribution With a Boat Trailer
  Yes, the TorkLift SuperHitch Everest Weight Distribution System # TLWD1000 can be used with a boat trailer for a 40' boat. The trailer must have a A-Frame tongue as there is not a pole tongue adapter available with the weight rating you require.

The brackets are designed to fit up to a 3" box steel frame or they can be welded to a I-Beam frame to hold...

• Which Torklift Weight Distribution Shank Works with Reese WD Heads
  I checked with Torklift and the # TLM9000 and # TLM9001 are designed to fit the standard weight distribution systems like your Reese. It has the 3/4 inch holes and the distance between them of 1-1/4 inches. Some of the Torklift shanks use larger diameter holes and would not work with a Reese head but this one does. The part # TLM9011 is an example of a shank that would not work with a Reese head.

  To be able to achieve the max 30,000 lbs towing/3,000 lb tongue weight rating of the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLC1205-30 on your 2006 Chevy Silverado you actually need to use TorkLift SuperHitch Everest Weight Distribution (WD) System # TLWD1000.

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 15,600 GTW Car Hauler
  To determine the correct Weight Distribution (WD) system for your application you will first need to find what your Total Tongue Weight (TTW) is. Your TTW can be found by adding the Tongue Weight (TW) of your fully loaded and ready-to-tow trailer along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. You will then want to pick a system that has a TW range that your TTW falls in the middle of. Keep in mind that your trailer TW should be 10-15% of your loaded trailer...

• Does 3000-Tongue Weight Capacity On TorkLift SuperHitch Require Both Receiver Openings
  I called my contact at TorkLift and asked about the tongue weight for their SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # TLD1108-30. The overall weight capacity and tongue weight capacity is for the entire hitch and not just one receiver. To be able to get to the 3000-lb tongue weight capacity would require both receiver openings. The only weight distribution system we offer that can handle 3000-lbs tongue weight is the TorkLift SuperHitch Everest, part # TLWD1000. Using this system...

• Weight Distribution System for 16k lbs Enclosed Car Hauler
  I have two recommendations depending on the tongue weight of your trailer when it is fully loaded. The total tongue weight is the loaded tongue weight of the trailer (typically 10-15% of the trailer) as well as any cargo behind the rear axle of your Ram 2500. If you are closer to the 10% side of that scale I recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # RP66075. This system has a 1,700 lbs maximum tongue weight and a 17,000 lbs capacity. If you are on the...

• Weight Distribution System for a 2006 Ford F-350 and 14,000 Pound Work and Play 34 WRS Trailer
  A single sway control bar is only good for trailers up to 6,000 pounds and up to 25 foot, 11 inch long trailers so that is at least part of the problem you are having. But not to worry because it is a problem that is easily remedied with the proper weight distribution system. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that...

If you aren't going to be towing a larger trailer than you would have with your old truck you could just swap out the shanks to allow you to use your existing weight distribution hitch with the new truck; you'd want to use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900, which is...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 15,000 lb Box Trailer
  I do have a solution for you but unfortunately you do have to use a TorkLift XL Shank like part # TLM9011 along with the SuperHitch on your tow vehicle to be able to use the Everest Weight Distribution System # TLWD1000. If 15,000 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer or that is the most it will weigh when you are towing it then you can potentially use the Strait-Line # RP66075 instead.
