  • Easiest Weight Distribution Hitch To Take Off A 8,000 Pound Trailer

When installing a weight distribution hitch The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW1000 will be the easiest to install then all the other systems.

When choosing a weight distribution hitch you want the total tongue weight to be as close to the middle of the WDH rating...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch For A 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe Towing A Riverside White Water Trailer
  • When choosing the correct weight distribution hitch you need to be as close to the weight of the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. If your weight distribution hitch is rated over or under the recommended tongue weight of the trailer it could be more hurtful than not having a weight distribution hitch at all.

  • Which Weight Distribution Hitch for Featherlite 2 Horse Trailer
  • Which weight distribution hitch you'll need will depend on the specs of the trailer- the GVWR and the tongue weight of the trailer. From what I was able to find it looks like a typical 2 horse Featherlite trailer will weigh around 8000-lbs fully loaded. I recommend using a weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-00-1200, which has a tongue weight range of 800-lbs to 1200-lbs, so it will work...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch w/ 6 Inch Drop For 12,000 lb Trailer
  • By torsion hitch and torsion bars, I believe you are referring to a weight distribution hitch, and there is an option for one that will allow a 6 inch drop.

  • Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch With Drop For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch
  • We have a weight distribution shank with quite a bit of drop that will work your Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch, but the part number you mentioned will not because it is a standard ball mount and doesn't have the correct hole spacing.

  • Available Hitch for RV That Allows Use of Weight Distribution Hitch
  • I may have a solution for you, but the reason that most hitches that can be used on RVs like your 1996 Chevy P30 Class A do not allow for use of weight distribution hitches is because of the leverage that is created at the rear of the frame and the distance away from the rear axle. With that said, if the distance from outside the frame on one side to outside of the frame on the other side you can use the Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch, 24" - 46" wide # 5350. This hitch can be used...

  • Can a Weight Distribution System be Used with a 2012 Toyota Highlander
  • I've got a couple of options for you but the Curt trailer hitch you have, part # 13534, is not rated for weight distribution and you should not use weight distribution with it. There is however, one hitch that fits your 2012 Toyota Highlander that is rated for weight distribution; the Draw-Tite # 75586. It's a little bit different of a design but installs in the same way. The hitch fits under the exhaust instead of over it like the Curt does. Another option is to forego the complete...

  • Best Options for Electronic Sway Control for a Yukon Denali with HD Towing Package
  • I have a solution for you but I am sorry the Automatic Level Control system on your 2017 Yukon Denali can not be used with a weight distribution system.

The electronic sway control system helps correct sway in trailers without weight distribution. It monitors trailer...
