Recommended Weight Distribution System With Sway Control

Helpful Expert Reply:

It sounds like you are wanting to replace your system for a system with newer sway technology. I recommend the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control, part # RP66558.

This system controls sway with the brackets and the head. This is a chainless trunnion bar system that uses clamp-on brackets so no drilling is needed for installation. This system includes the trunnion bars, an adjustable shank, head assembly, sway control brackets, a lift handle, pin and clip, and all the hardware needed for installation. This is a 6,000-lb system for tongue weight between 400 and 600-lbs.

The hitch ball is not included and it requires a hitch ball with a 1-inch shank like part # 63845 for a 2-inch ball and part # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.

For a system that is more heavy-duty I recommend part # RP66559. This is a 10,000-lb system for tongue weight between 500 and 1,000-lbs. Since this uses a 1-1/4 inch shank hitch ball you can use part # A-90 for a 2-inch ball and part # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.

If you need a 12,000-lb system I recommend the Steadi-Flex, part # RP66560. This is designed for tongue weight between 600 and 1,200-lbs. This system also uses hitch balls with a 1-1/4 inch shank.

I could not find the weight distribution system you mentioned you have or the Eaz Lift Sway Control unit you mentioned. If you let me know what the part number is for the Reese system you have and the size I can see if the sway control can be modified.

We have not had customers complain about the sway control for the Reese or the Blue Ox systems. Both sway control system work well for the weight distribution systems they are designed for.
