The next step up in capacity from the 600 to 1,200 pound weight distribution systems like the Pro Series RB2 Round Bar Weight Distribution Kit with Shank, # 49570, would be an 800 to 1,500 pound system. For weight distribution only, I recommend the Reese Weight Distribution w/out Shank - Trunnion Bar, # RP66131. This system can use the same shank, # RP54970 (not included), as the 49570 system. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review below.
For a system with sway control, I recommend the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Trunnion Bar, # RP66130. This system can also use the RP54970 shank (not included). This system uses dual-cam sway control that stops trailer sway before it starts. I have included a link to the installation details below. I have also added a link to our weight distribution and sway control FAQ page.
