The etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale, part # e99044 is the only tongue weight scale we offer.
This scale has an easy-to-read gauge that shows the weight in both pounds and kilograms and has a capacity of 2,000 lbs. I have attached a product review video you can check out. view full answer...
Though I may have another option for you, I did speak to our product development team and, unfortunately, they do not have any plans for producing the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 with a lower capacity. At this time anyway. This may change in the future, but the demand for a scale that only goes to 1,000 pounds isn't as high as you would think. view full answer...
The etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale, # e99044, that we have available is great for measuring up to 2,000 pounds of tongue weight on a standard bumper pulled trailer.
In your case, to determine the weight of your gooseneck trailer, I recommend going to a public location that has a scale like a local truck stop. They will have the capability of weighing your gooseneck trailer and usually charge a very minimal fee to do so. view full answer...
Since the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch # FA94-00-0600 you have is only rated for tongue weights between 200-600lbs it will not be rated high enough to work as designed with your new trailer that has 610lbs tongue weight.
The tongue weight rating for all weight distribution hitches is the total tongue weight of your setup which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest way... view full answer...
There is the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR which works with total tongue weights from 200-600lbs and still has the sway control you were looking for.
Keep in mind that you will need to know your total tongue weight rating which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any additional cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Using the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044... view full answer...
Given the substantial size of the frame I wonder about its tongue weight. The Trailer Valet has a 500-lb maximum tongue weight rating which could certainly be inadequate for some very large trailers. It is a good idea to verify your trailer's tongue weight before selecting a jack/trailer mover to ensure it is rated adequately. We offer an etrailer tongue weight scale # e99044 that makes it easy to accurately measure your tongue weight, but other methods are outlined in the linked article.

I do have a possible solution for you, but unfortunately the 2017 and 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe models were designed in a way that does not allow for any kind of suspension enhancement or air bags. If you're looking to reduce sag while towing, I recommend using a weight distribution hitch.
In order to choose the correct weight distribution hitch you will need to know the loaded tongue weight of your trailer. This also includes the weight of anything behind the rear axle in your tow vehicle.... view full answer...
A weight distribution (and/or sway control) hitch set-up cannot be used with only one of its spring bars installed. This would create uneven tension between the two sides of the trailer and would lead to handing issues and safety concerns.
The linked page displays all weight distribution (WD) systems without sway control that will work with your 300-lb trailer tongue weight (TW). We have options for both surge brakes and electric brakes; just click on the type you have on your trailer.... view full answer...
The best way to choose a weight distribution system is based off the tongue weight of your trailer; ideally it will fall right in the middle of the prescribed tongue weight range of the system.
Based off of the 504-lbs tongue weight you've measured, the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 6K GTW, 600 TW # RP66558 is a great choice and a much better fit than your 400/4000-lbs rated system. I really like that the Steadi-Flex is easy to install and,... view full answer...
The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch part # 31108 is a confirmed fit for your 2006 GMC Sierra and will provide a fit for your 2 inch hitch-mounted bike rack. I have included instructions for the proper installation of this front-mounted trailer hitch.
You may find some issues with a front mounted bike rack however. Visibility may be an issue. In addition, the fully-loaded bike rack may block the head lights and/or license plate. Finally, the bikes may block airflow through the grille, causing... view full answer...
You may be able to adjust the loaded trailer's tongue weight (TW) enough by changing the position of the riding mower and other items on the trailer. If the trailer is long enough for you to keep the mower further back, further away from the trailer tongue, this will reduce the TW to some degree. Ideally TW will be 12-15-percent of the trailer GVW. You can measure TW using a scale like # e99044 or by one of the other methods outlined in the article I included for you.

The Reese Strait-Line is a great system so it is a good idea to stick with it. The WDH you're looking for is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System # RP66083. This is rated for 400-800 lbs of tongue weight and a gross towing weight up to 8,000 lbs.
I'm not sure what Airstream you have, but you want to make sure your loaded tongue weight falls into the range of the system. This includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2021 Nissan Titan XD. If you aren't sure, I... view full answer...
Thank you for the photo of your v-nose enclosed trailer for which you are looking for a weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) system. Since you have limited access to the trailer frame, about 15-inches based on your photo, I suggest you check whether the diamond-plate nose blocks access to the side of the frame further back, say around 30-inches back from the hitch ball. This is hard to tell from the photo due to the camera angle.
If the bottom of the diamond-plate does not extend... view full answer...
The linked page will display all weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) systems for 2-1/2-inch hitches. None of these 2-1/2-inch systems comes from Equal-I-zer but we do have 2-1/2-inch shanks that can be purchased separately. Part # EQ90-02-4800 works for tongue weight (TW) up to 1600-lbs and provides up to 4-inches of drop or 8-inches of rise. Part # EQ90-02-4900 also is rated for up to 1600-lbs but allows height adjustment from 6-inches of drop to 10-inches of rise.

When a trailer has a V-nose design that blocks access to the frame rails, or tongue-mounted accessory items like propane tanks and trailer jacks the best way to install a weight distribution (WD) system is with bolt-on brackets that can be installed from just the outside of the frame.
Reese part # RP58305 and Curt part # C17005 bolt on to the side surface of the trailer frame rails and can even be installed under a V-nose overhang, propane cover or tool box as shown in the linked photo.... view full answer...
Ford trucks are getting taller and this can sometimes cause towing complications.
The good news is that weight distribution shanks are standardized for hole size and hole spacing. This allows them to be interchangeable between brands. Since you have a reducer sleeve in your 2-1/2-inch hitch you will have that many more to choose from since you can use either a 2-inch shank with the reducer or a 2-1/2-inch shank by itself.
All of the WD shanks we offer appear on the page I linked for... view full answer...
We do offer an adjustable ball mount that has a longer shank, but Fastway doesn't offer anything longer than the 4-1/2 inches provided by the # DTSTBM6800-2S.
Weigh safe offers a similar ball mount with a 8 inch maximum drop and a 9 inch maximum rise with a 12.5K capacity, part # WS8-2. The maximum distance between the hitch pin hole and the point where the shank takes the downward angle is 6 inches, as shown in the photo I've provided.

It sounds like you are looking for a stainless-steel adjustable ball mount with multiple hitch balls.

You can use the linked page to see all ball mounts. Filters let you select your hitch size, either 2-inch or 2-1/2-inch, to then see the ball mounts that will fit that hitch. view full answer...
