Availability of Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 2-1/2 Inch Class V Trailer Hitch
Question:
According to the product description, dual cam sway control is for Class III and IV hitches only. Can you please recommend a sway control system that is applicable for Class V hitches? Thank you!

If your Class V trailer hitch has a 2-1/2 inch receiver, then you can use the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control, # RP66075. I have included a link to the installation details below. You will also need shank # RP54977, and a properly sized ball like # 63840.
According to one of our installers. You could use # RP66074 that you have referenced in a 2-1/2 inch receiver, you would just need the 2-1/2 inch shank, # RP54977. I have included a link to an FAQ article on weight distribution and sway control below.
