Video Transcript for Reese Weight Distribution 58392 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems. This snap-up bracket mounts on the trailer tongue and provides the attachment point for your weight distribution and spring bars that use chains. This creates necessary tension on the spring bars. The replacement unit is designed for use with Reese Weight Distribution Systems that use similar style lift brackets. It does come with a set screw, which bolts the bracket to your trailer frame. That bolt is going to give us a measurement of around 3 1/2 inches from the bottom of the bolt head to the head of the threaded portion.
Then it's also going to come with a new safety pin that locks the bracket in the raised position. Now the bracket itself is made from a steel construction. It's very strong and durable. It's going to have a black powder coated finish, which is going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. One snap-up bracket assembly is included. This bracket features the welded on reinforcement.
That's these raised areas right here. It's got these welded on reinforcements, which makes it a heavy duty bracket making it great for heavier trailers. This is a replacement part for Reese Weight Distribution Systems that have a gross trailer weight rating of 15,000 pounds and 17,000 pounds. We know that this is a very strong and durable heavy duty snap-up bracket. Simply installs approximately 30 inches back from the coupler. It is going to require about 5 1/2 inches of space along the trailer frame.
Measuring right there is where we get that measurement from. It will not fit trailer frames wider than 2 1/2 inches. That's simply, the opening here needs a little bit of space left for the screw, or the bolt, to actually get in there and get some threads through. 2 1/2 inches is the trailer frame width. With that removed, you can see that we can lower this, connect the chains, raise it up to apply the tension, and this goes through those holes to secure it in that up position.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems.

Replaces the heavy duty snap-up bracket for your weight distribution systems with tongue weight capacity 800 lbs and over.by: Julian12/08/2022
So Far so good. It appears well made. I think I will add a filler between my frame and the back of the bracket where the screw enters. This will prevent the unit from sliding down. I had the original Reese brackets for 10 years. The pins that allow the bracket to move became loose or sloopy. Became very difficult to place the pin. Replaced the bracket with REGULAR brackets. One slipped and cocked on frame and bent screw. The filler may have prevented this. These heavy duty brackets should do the trick.

We purchased a heavier travel trailer and needed to upgrade out proud trunion bars to 1200 lb (also from etrailer), our old snap up brackets but these HD seem to be what we really needed. If you upgrade your trunion bar capacity I strongly recommend also upgrading to HD snap brackets.
etrailer has GREAT customer service. They even called the factory and shared additional helpful information after they had made the sale. I will look for other opportunities to buy from them.
by: Thomas09/02/2023
The regular brackets seem to have bent. These ones with the reinforcements should do the trick!

I previously bought a set of these brackets for my car hauler and they worked perfectly with my current weight distribution hitch. I decided to buy a 2nd set for my boat trailer (that has electric brakes) and am looking forward to a much better ride when I'm towing.
by: Matthew08/17/2022
The pin that locks into place does not line up when there is pressure from the chain. I've had to use a heavy duty wire to lock it. The other side works fine.

It sounds as if your snap-up bracket has been bent or damaged. You will want to replace that.
by: Robert 08/28/2023
Easy to install, and love the locking f eature
by: Randy 07/30/2020
Fast delivery 3 days, they are exactly as discribed and what I wanted. Now I can use my hitch on 2 different trailes.
Thank you, etailer

I bought the brackets because I have 2 trailers so I can use my equalizer hitch on both , works great
by: Robert 01/15/2020
The ordering process was easy enough for the hitch part and the price was fair.
It is the exact product that I was replacing.

Still doing the job it was designed for
by: Frank09/17/2021
All good except the packaging was not as good as it should have been. I received two boxes, one for each of the Snap-Up Brackets. One box was torn and the keeper pin was missing. The other box had the keeper pin but it could have came out of that box but luckily it didn't. The pin was just placed in the box. It should have been put in a bag or maybe taped to the bracket so it could not have been lost so easily.

Sorry about the missing pin. Customer Service will be reaching out to you.

Thankyou so much for all your help.Here is a pic of the product installed on our RV. Thanks again.

I read the reviews of the new bracket and decided to give it a try. ETrailer was very easy to work with and shipped the bracket very quickly. I have attached a photo that illustrates the old bracket next to the new one. The old bracket just could not handle the load of my trailer. When I got home from a trip, both brackets were barely on the trailer frame. I am looking forward to the control and strength of the new bracket when I take the camper out next.

I ORDERED THE HEAVY DUTY SNAP-UP BRACKET TO GO ON MY NEW RV AND 1 SET FOR MY OLD RV. THE BRACKETS ARRIVED QUICKLY AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. i HAVE USED BOTH TRAILERS IN THE LAST YEAR AND THE BRACKETS PERFORMED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE PRODUCT AND THE SERVICE I RECEIVED.
by: Casey M.07/06/2011
Product was shipped in a timely manner. One of the brackets was shipped without the hole for the set screw threaded. It was easy to fix(if you have the correct tap). I did not have time to ship it back for new bracket as we were leaving for a trip later that week. The brackets are now installed and working great. I installed them on my travel trailer and have now taken two trips with the new snap up brackets and no issues.

Replacing current Reese snap up brackets ( had one bend last camping season) with the Reese Heavy Duty brackets. After looking over the Reese Heavy Duty Brackets, I noticed the the threads have been cleaned of powder coating, safety pins and locking bolt were included. With the added reinforcement these should not bend like the previous brackets. Free shipping a plus.
by: Ernest roy05/05/2018
Bought 2 of these to tow my cargo trailer behind our motorhome on a recent 1000+ mile vacation trip. Installation was easy, no paint in the threaded section where the clamping bolt threads in. These snap-up clamps worked flawlessly and did not bend, stretch or loosen under load.
by: Mike H08/06/2016
Disappointed in the Reese product. The two issues are as follows. First when hooking the chain from the bars and pulling them up tight the hook part doesn't seem to go over center and stay on its own. I actually had one of the chains snap back down before I put the locking pin in. Nearly caught my head. Every other chain device I have used (been several over the last 40 years of trailering) has always gone what I would call over center so it stayed put safely. I won't release pressure on the pipe handle I use to pull the saddle up until I have the safety pin in place. (should not have to do that) I hope this doesn't prove to be a problem while towing. Second, the rivet that holds the lifting part to the piece attached to the trailer tongue doesn't seem to be heavy enough. With the part new there is play and the rivet seems a little loose. Not near as good or heavy as what I have used in the past. If I had a way to talk to the engineer that designed this I would sure give him my 2 cents worth.
by: Jim K.05/24/2013
Have just recieved the snap up bracket. Have not installed it yet or tried the product out.The Heavy Duty Snap Bracket isvery well made , and makes the original ones that came with the hitch,look cheap and inferior. Why doesn't Reese give you these brackets when you purchase their weight distribution hitch? Delivery time was quick and etrailer promised as delivered. This is my first order from etrailer, but will definetly order from them again due to the great service and products. 2013 Artic Fox 32 A travel trailer.
by: Chris W.07/17/2014
I got great service when I called E Trailer. I needed parts to my load leveling system and the sales representative I spoke with was great. I received the exact parts I needed. Thanks.
by: Jeff.B03/02/2015
Just received my lift brackets , a HUGE improvement on the original Reese brackets that came with my hitch back in 2004 !
so glad that I left my old ones on my trailer when I sold some time back !With great prices and fast and FREE shipping , what more can you ask for !
by: S. Klucinec09/11/2015
Solid pieces, should be stronger than the standard brackets I was using with my lighter spring bars. Only glitch was that the threads required chasing with a 1/2 - 13 tap due to paint in the threads and minor damage around the thread opening. felt like forcing the bolt through would have caused damage.
by: Mark12/30/2017
I have used the reese dual cam system for some time on an enclosed trailer. I recently added a travel trailer to the mix. I wanted to use the same system. I bought the chain holders. I went through 3 sets as they were bending and pulling the units off the trailer. I realized they were not the same quality and strength of og my old units.These units are very strong.
by: Terry 07/17/2020
Snap up Bracket for Weight Distribution Hitch is obviously build in a very sturdy manner. It is for sure "heavy duty" as advertised. The staff at E-trailer was quite professional and helpful, answering many of my questions and pointing me to helpful illustrations and videos.
Always a great experience to shop with E-trailer. Thank you. Terry
by: Bob06/14/2013
Seems good quality. Although pin seems like could vibrate loose, we'll see. E-trailer as a company seems very professional, quick accurate delivery of all parts together, many confirmation e-mails.
by: Kevin05/04/2018
Noah at etrailer.com confirmed that my old Reese snap up brackets 21500 were compatible with the 53892 Resse Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket. Installed and everything was fine. Easy transaction and parts showed up sooner than Noah suggested. Thanks for helping me out.

- Will Reese Replacement Weight Distribution Bracket # 58392 Work with Eaz-Lift WD SystemThe Eaz-Lift weight distribution system uses spring bar lift brackets that are indeed roughly similar to the Reese replacement bracket # 58392 that you referenced. The Reese brackets clamp on to trailer frames up to 2-1/4-inches wide and occupy 5-1/2-inches of space on the trailer frame. Reese and other manufacturers do not test their products with those of other companies so I cannot say with absolute assurance that this will work to your satisfaction with your Eaz-Lift system. However,...
view full answer... - Replacement Reese Snap-Up Lift Bracket For Bent BracketThe Reese Lift Bracket # RP21501 that you have is their light duty bracket. You will want to replace it with the Heavy Duty Lift Bracket # 58392. This new bracket is stronger as it is rated for weight distribution hitch tongue weights of 800lbs or more.

- Replacement Dual Cam Sway Control and Chains/U-Bolts for Strait Line Weight DistributionThe Dual Cam part # RP26002 does not come with the u-bolts and chains like you are wanting as well so for that you'd need the # 66014 you referenced as well if you weren't able to use the chains and u-bolts that are currently attached to your spring bars. If you needed the snap up brackets as well that would be part # 58392.
view full answer... - Replacement Frame Brackets for Reese Weight Distribution SystemI cannot recommend you use Blue Ox chain hangers with your Reese weight distribution system. You would need snap up brackets like the part # 58392.
view full answer... - Which Reese Weight Distribution Snap Up Bracket has The Heavy Duty GussetsIt looks like part numbers have changed and the correct part number for the frame bracket that has the extra gusset to make it heavier duty is the part # 58392 and the hanger without them is the part # RP21501.

TW / 12,000 lbs. GTW, item # RP66084, are designed to be used with weight distribution systems up to 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 1,200 pounds tongue weight. These chains can be purchased separately in the Replacement Weight Distribution Chain Kit, item # 3216. The snap up brackets can also be purchased separately in the Replacement Weight Distribution Hook-Up Brackets kit (2) with Lift Bar, item # RP6637, or just...
view full answer... - Is the 600 lb Rating of the Reese Lift Bracket # RP21501 Per BracketThe Reese Lift Bracket # RP21501 is rated for Reese weight distribution (WD) systems that have a tongue weight (TW) capacity, or rating, of up to 600 lbs. These are the brackets that would be used on a WD system like the Strait-Line # RP66082 which has a TW range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs. Since you have a heavier TW with your new trailer you will need to use the Reese Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket # 58392 instead which is used for WD systems that are rated for 800 lbs TW and up, like the Strait-Line...
view full answer... - Installing a Reese WD System with Brackets on an I-Beam TrailerTo install a Reese Snap-Up Bracket, like part # 58392, on an I-Beam trailer you will not need to cut the frame but have an experienced welder add some extra metal where the bracket will sit on the trailer frame. This will simulate a regular trailer frame and will allow the Snap-Up bracket to be safely used. For example; the Reese Weight Distribution (WD) system # RP66542 uses brackets that require about 5-1/2" of trailer frame space and mount about 30" back from the hitch ball. Keep in...
view full answer... - Replacement Lift Brackets and Chains for a Reese 15,000 Pound Weight Distribution SystemSince your Reese weight distribution system is rated for 15,000 pounds I recommend getting 2 of heavy duty lift bracket # 58392. For a chain kit use # 3216. You would only need 1 chain kit.
view full answer... - Lift Brackets for a Weight Distribution System for a Trailer with 3 Inch Wide FrameWhat you could use are chain hangers # RP58306. You would just need longer bolts because the ones that are included are not long enough for a 3 inch frame. Use grade 5 or better hardware. These are just hangers, not lift brackets, so you would need to use the trailer jack to get the required tension on the spring bars. If you are just looking for a more stable tow then you could just add a friction bar sway control unit like # 83660. It comes with everything you will need though you may...
view full answer... - Chain Hangers for use With Reese Weight DistributionThere are a pair of options when choosing chain hangers for your Reese Titan Weight Distribution System # RP66006. The bolt-on chain hangers are # RP58305, but if you prefer not to drill you can use the clamp-on chain hangers, # RP58306. For snap-up brackets you would want to use the Replacement Lift Brackets with Handle for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # RP6637, or the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # 58392.
view full answer... - Are Heavy Duty Weight Distribution Brackets Needed for 800 to 1,000 Pounds Trailer Tongue WeightThe regular snap-up brackets can bend if the hitch weight is higher than what they are rated for. At 800 to 1,000 pounds, your trailer tongue weight is within the limits of Reese dual-cam systems so it should not be a problem. The heavy duty brackets, # 58392 have some extra gussets for support and strength but I do not think you will need them.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Chain Hanging Brackets for 4 Inch Wide Trailer FrameNone of the frame mounted chain hangers will fit a 4 inch wide trailer frame but I do have a solution for you. You will need to use a bolt-on hanger system on the wider frame, # RP58305, or # C17005. Please note these hangers have not been tested with the EAZ-Lift weight distribution systems.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Bent Lift Brackets on a Reese Weight Distribution SystemIt sounds to me like you will need the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems, # 58392, to keep from bending the tip up brackets with your trailer. When trailers get near the 1,000 pound tongue weight range the tip up brackets can be a bit weak for the weight of the trailer and the stiffness of the suspension on heavy duty trucks like your Ford F-250. I recommend replacing both brackets, as you will most likely bend the bracket on the right side once...
view full answer... - Gap Between Frame and Bracket Utilizing Snap-Up BracketsThe Snap-Up brackets like # PS58362 and # 58392 are designed to have some space between the frame and the back side of the bracket. As long as the bolt is holding the frame and bracket tight, the system will work properly. This bracket is designed to be compatible with many frames so the gap is not at all uncommon. The top of the bracket should rest on the trailer frame where able and the Snap-Up Side should rest along the frame as well. As long as those two areas are tight to the frame,...
view full answer... - Is The Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems Each or Set? The Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems, # 58392 is sold as a part count of 1, not a pair.
view full answer... - Can Reese Titan Weight Distribution be Installed on Two TrailersTo install the Reese Titan Weight Distribution # RP66006 on a second trailer would basically just require you to install a second set of frame brackets on the trailer. The replacement brackets are sold individually as part # 58392. You would need two. Aside from that you would need to set the system up for each trailer with the correct amount of spring bar tension based on the tongue weight.
view full answer... - Should an Extra Bolt be Used to Secure Reese Weight Distribution Lift Brackets on a C-Channel FrameIf your weight distribution system uses the lift brackets, like # RP21501, or # 58392, my contact at Reese stated that you can use it on a trailer with a C-channel frame. The 3 inch bolt is long enough that it will work with C-channel frames. So provided that it has a weight capacity that can handle your trailer, you will be able to use the weight distribution system. Given the weight of your trailer it would be recommended to use an extra bolt. Since the set screw is normally the only...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Snap Up Replacement Brackets For Weight Distribution SystemSnap up brackets are somewhat interchangeable within their family branding. For example, the current Replacement Lift Bracket, Item # RP21501, works with the Reese family of weight distribution systems which includes Reese, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, or Pro Series. The difference between all the snap up brackets involves how heavy duty they are and what weight distribution systems they work with.

This is the bracket for systems with tongue weights 800-lbs and greater.

You will want the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems item # 58392.

- Replacement Trailer Mounting Hardware for Reese Straitline Weight DistributionFor replacement chain hangers for the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 you'd want the # 58392. You may have left the rivet nuts in your previous trailer for the dual cams to mount to the frame which for those you'd need the part # RP58507. I can't think of any other hardware you may have left on the old trailer but let me know if there's something else you need.
view full answer... - How Much Tongue Weight Should a Trailer Have and Should it Sit LevelYou want your trailer to sit as level as possible, and want the tongue weight of the trailer to be between 10 and 15 percent of the total weight of the trailer. In order to get the trailer to sit level you will need to pick out a ball mount with the correct rise/drop. For more information on that check out the FAQ article I attached to the right that details how to accomplish this.
view full answer... - Replacement Frame/Chain Lift Brackets for Reese Weight Distribution SystemIt sounds like you might be looking for the snap-up brackets. In which case, you'd need the Replacement Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP21501 (<600 lbs) or part # 58392 (>800 lbs). These brackets bolt to the frame and give you a spot to attach the chains from the spring bars. If this is not what you're looking for please send me a photo and I'd be glad to see if we have another option.

Not as good as I had hoped. I have found that the pins that lock the lift handles is extremely hard to slip through and lock the handles in place, when putting tension on the weight bars. It seems the hinge has some flex in it, when pressure is applied, puts the locking pin holes out of alignment. This happens on both sets of brackets Ive bought. I am likely to have to drill the locking pin holes slightly bigger to accommodate for the mis-alignment.
