  • Why Would a Husky 32218 Weight Distribution Hitch Require Different Lifting Force On Each Side?
  • It sounds like your Husky 32218 weight distribution hitch head itself is damaged. With the way the bar is flinging out it sounds like mounting tab where the spring bar sits into is bending up as it goes out which explains why the bar would also push out under load. This would also explain why both sides do not require the same amount of force to lift both sides. You can try reaching out to Husky to determine if this is something they will cover under warranty. If they won't I recommend...

  • Solution for Older Reese Weight Distribution System with Lost Spring Bar for 6k Trailer
  • Reese got rid of a lot of the older weight distribution replacement parts a few years back when they went and updated most of the lines that they offered so there isn't going to be the replacement parts you are looking for. So it would be best to replace the entire system Bob. A system like the Reese part # RP66542 would work great as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which should match what your camper has well.

  • Lower Blue Ox Weight Distribution Spring Arms for 600 lbs - 700 lbs Tongue Weight
  • Hey Alan, thanks for reaching out! If you have the SwayPro system then you're using the 1,000 lbs TW Spring Bars # BXW4007 with a range of 750 lbs - 1,000 lbs, and if you have the 2-Point Sway system then you're using the 1,200 lbs TW Spring Bars # BLU64XR with a range of 800 lbs - 1,200 lbs. Both of these options will work just fine with your new setup, but if you really want to go to a lower rating then that's fine, provided you keep your tongue weight within the proper ranges: -...

  • Is The Mounting Hardware For The Reese Replacement Head # RP58112 Available Separately?
  • Unfortunately Reese no longer offers the hardware for Replacement Head # RP58112 separately. This is an all to common problem we experience with Reese as they update and phase out their weight distribution hitch systems. This is a reason I much prefer to recommend Equal-i-zer systems as they have a system that works and continue to make replacement parts. If you are unable to find replacement hardware and do not want to have to buy a new head for it to possibly be discontinued the next...

  • Replacement Chain U-Bolts and Bolt On Hangers For Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
  • Typically when the frame brackets for the Reese Weight Distribution # RP66020 can't be used they switch to the Bolt On Hangers # RP58305. I have seen some weld the brackets onto the trailer but as Reese did not design the brackets to be used in that manner I cannot give you any details on how much of the bracket needs to be welded. It shouldn't take much but they need to be secured in place to not slide on the frame or lift from the top rail. We do have the Replacement U-Bolts # RP58032...

  • Replacement Pin Box For 5TH Wheel With Lippert 1116 Pin Box To Connect To Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  • The best option is to use the Reese Goose Box # RP94716-61301 as this is currently the only replacement pin box approved by Lippert to not void the frame warranty on your 5th wheel camper. Do understand that this pin box does have a maximum trailer capacity of 16,000lbs so it will only slightly reduce your maximum loaded capacity. You will need the Safety Chain Kit # RP49151 since you are switching to a ball connection and all ball connections require safety chains by law.

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Ford F-350 With An Inclined Wraparound Drivew
  • The Curt Q-Series fifth wheel hitches, like the Q-20 # C16530-16020 you were looking at, have been known to have compatibility issues with certain pin boxes that ends up wearing the head out too quickly. Depending on the severity of the grading you could be placing a lot of stress on the head which will eventually wear down the bushings and require complete replacement of the head unit. It's a great hitch but with it being known to wear quicker and this being your main concern I recommend...
