Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.
Selecting a Weight Distribution System
The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.
To determine the proper weight rating for a weight distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight distribution system.

I use this to pull a camper and it works great. etrailer has been great to order from and they have very good products. I have ordered several items since i ordered this hitch from them. Give them a chance, they will do you right.
by: Patrick Duggan03/31/2019
I had an L shaped weight distribution hitch before I bought this Curt model from E trailer.If you the coop ape the two the older one wS easier to operate. The Pins that lock the chain brackets in please are difficult to remove and adding wd40 does not help also this new one seems to be lower to the ground,, making me bend over and sometimes or even get to my knees to hook it up .My wife used to be able to help me with the older one the new one she is not able so I do both sides myself . Also the part that connects to the truck you need to hold it sideways then flip the the release up and maneuver it he top 2 tabs into place , lot more work than the L shaped one I had. It’s ok otherwise.

Your torsion bar hitch and service were impecable. The people at Husky Cargo trailer in Florida that built the car hauler should take lessons on how to build a trailer and treat paying customers.
by: Duane H.08/13/2016
My weight distribution hitch worked perfectly. It was very easy to install and the instructions made it simple to adjust for the weight I was pulling. The sway control that I received was great as well holding me steady on the highway, even with strong cross-winds. An impressive product that I would definitely recommend.

Works Great, excellent service
by: Eric 08/08/2020
I have a 2016 F150 4x4 that I leveled and I'm pulling a V-nose enclosed car trailer. The shank that came with the hitch won't allow me to level the trailer. So I ordered a 12 inch drop shank to allow me to level the trailer. I thought the one came with it would work . I will give further review once I receive the new shank.

I’ve used this hitch as and RV Transporter for a year now and this is a great weight distribution hitch at a great price!

Installed on 14,500 rated trailer pulled 1400 miles round trip no issues, no sway, truck and trailer leveled out for a smooth ride.

have has this hitch for over a year now and have had zero issues. It is used exclusively to pull my 28 foot travel trailer. Heavy duty and easy to use.
by: Roger T03/24/2016
Easier to use then another brand. Only problem was that somehow I bent one of torsion bar retaining clips. Was afraid I would ruin it trying to straighten it out but didn't. I use a colored zip tie to mark the proper chain link to eliminate guessing.
by: Gene B08/06/2014
Unfortunately, I have not been able to put my new towing system to use yet. However, the product was delivered very quickly, and shipping was free. Very satisfied with how easily the parts were to assemble. Great experience, so far, with etrailer.com

I appreciate that the hitch was sent out within a few hours of it being ordered.

Like your product, but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. This is the second one we bought and both were delivered in broken damaged boxes. Luckily all the parts were there. Thanks for the quick delivery.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Weight Distribution Hitch
- Chain Hangers and Curt Short Arm Weight Distribution System for a V-Nose Trailer
Yes, we do have a set of mounting brackets that do not go over the top of your tongue for chain style weight distribution systems. It is the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems item # C17005. These hangers mount directly to your tongue with included bolts. Since your trailer has a v-nose front, I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System item # C17322. This system has shorter arms to accommodate your v-nose tongue. This system has an 800 lbs to 1,000 lbs tongue...
view full answer... - Recommendations to Reduce Sway on a Pop Up Camper that Has Weight in the Rear of CamperThe best recommendation I could give you would be to move as much weight to the front of your trailer as possible. That will give you the best results. Sway control systems work best on setups that will start to sway when a semi-truck passes or if it's just windy in general. If too much weight is in the back of a trailer the best solution is to move the weight forward or if that's not possible add weight to the front of the trailer.
view full answer... - Adding a Second Sway Control Arm to Pro Series Weight Distribution SystemAll you would need to add a second sway control arm to Curt weight distribution system # C17322 is friction sway control kit # 83660 or # 17200. These bars do not have a left and right, you just have to take out the inside, turn it over, and put it back in. Then flip the whole assembly over. You can flip the plate, handle, and nut around too. Its pretty self-explanatory once you have it in your hands.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System For Trailer With 4400-lbs Total Weight CapacityThe best way to determine what system will work for you is to know what your total tongue weight is. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully-loaded-ready-to-tow trailer added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You will then want to find a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight range for the system. Getting a system that is too small will be useless, but getting a system that is too big...
view full answer... - Recommended Curt Weight Distribution System for a 7,000 lb TrailerJust a few things to note about Weight Distribution (WD) systems. You will want to make sure that you pick a system that has a weight range that your Total Tongue Weight (TTW) falls in the middle of. Total Tongue Weight is the Tongue Weight (TW) of your loaded and ready-to-go trailer, plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2014 GMC Sierra. Once you know what your TTW is, then you can make sure to pick out an appropriate WD system. Also, the TW of any trailer should...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a Starcraft Centennial Trailer and 2007 Honda OdysseyThe Reese system # C17322 that you have referenced is for trailers that have a tongue weight capacity between 800 and 1,000 pounds. This system is probably too heavy for your pop up trailer and you will experience a stiff ride. From the research I did, the camper will have a tongue weight of around 375 pounds. You then need to add to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the van to get the total tongue weight. I recommend a system that is rated for 200 to 600 pounds...
view full answer... - Curt Weight Distribution System for 2022 Airstream Basecamp 20XI looked up the hitch weight of your 2022 Airstream BASECAMP 20X and since it would be right at 600 lb when loaded the Curt Short Arm system you mentioned would not work as it would be rated too high. It has a tongue weight range of 800-1,000 lbs. For a similar Curt system that would work great we have the TruTrack part # C17499 which has a tongue weight range of 500-800 lb.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 6,500 Pound Trailer and 2008 Ford F-350When choosing weight distribution you will need to go by the total tongue weight. This is calculated by first determining the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow. Then to that you would add the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. So for example lets say that your gross trailer weight is 6,500 pounds and nothing is loaded behind the rear axle of the truck. The tongue...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Boat Trailer with 800 lbs Tongue Weight and Surge BrakesWhen picking out a weight distribution system the most important factor to consider is the loaded tongue weight which includes the the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle. Since your trailer has surge brakes you cannot use a weight distribution system with friction sway control or dual-cam sway control. Because of that I would recommend you go with a Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution system # RP66560 rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight. You will also likely need a pole...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedWhen picking out a weight distribution system you want to come as close as possible to the middle of the effective tongue weight range as possible. Installing a system such as the Curt # C17322 that you referenced would not be effective being that it has a tongue weight rating of 1000 lbs and would cause a stiff ride. Before choosing a weight distribution system you will want to determine the tongue weight of your trailer in road ready condition. I have attached a FAQ article that will...
view full answer... - Using Curt Short Arm Weight Distribution System on V-Nose TrailerWith Curt Short Arm weight distribution systems like the part # C17322 that you referenced the distance from the center of the hitch ball to the far edge of the chain hanger will be 30-5/8 inches. A lot of times the best solution for V-nose trailers like yours is to use bolt on hangers like part # C17005 instead as this style does not require clearance above the frame channel so it fits right underneath the V-nose.

- Recommended Weight Detection System for a ATC Raven Cargo TrailerI do have an option for you but there is not a longer version of the Replacement Square U-bolts for 26000 Dual Cam Sway Control part # 58000 available. However, this is more or less irrelevant as you cannot use the Reese Dual Cam Weight Distribution System on an aluminum frame trailer like your ATC Raven Cargo Trailer because it creates too much stress for the frame to handle. The other issues you will have is that the Reese Dual Cam Weight Distribution System will require that you have...

- Determining Correct Weight Distribution System For 1-Horse Trailer With Short TongueI would be happy to help you find the correct weight distribution hitch for your short tongue horse trailer, but you will need to verify your total tongue weight to confirm the correct system. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to trailer, plus the weight of any cargo added behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest way to determine your trailers tongue weight is by using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044...

What you need to be concerned with on any weight distribution system is to get one that has the proper tongue weight capacity. For weight distribution you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If you add it up and you are under the 1,000 pound tongue weight capacity of # C17322 then you are good to go....

You mentioned that your hitch has a 3500 lbs weight capacity. The trailer hitches that we offer with a 3500 lbs weight capacity for your vehicle are Class II hitches and are not compatible with weight distribution.

The most important rating to use when matching up a weight distribution system is the actual tongue weight.

view full answer... - Can A Weight Distribution System be Left Installed When Backing Up a TrailerBasically with any weight distribution system/sway control you can back a trailer up with it installed IF you only plan to back up mainly in a straight line. If the trailer has to be jackknifed at all then you have to disconnect the setup. The rule of thumb I use for how tight of a turn you can go is basically how tight of an angle can your trailer be at moving forward with the steering wheel all the way turned.
view full answer... - Can a Trailer with the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322 Installed be ReversedAs long as you aren't making tight turns with the trailer you can back up with the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322. If you end up in a situation where the trailer is going to be at a sharp angle in relation to the tow vehicle then I would recommend you disconnect the spring bars and friction sway control bar to prevent damage. The friction sway bar is the most restricting component and that is why the warning for backing up with the hitch is there.

If you need shorter bars than I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 10K GTW - 1K TW # C17322 which has a spring bar length of 28-3/8 inches. If you don't have the room for the traditional hangers, you can instead use the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # C17005.
