What Hitch Ball Does Blue Ox Weight Distribution System Use?

Question

Question:

Do you have an item similar to #RP26003 that fits with #RP54980 ? I want to put a sway friction control bar on the side of the weight distribution hitch coz my trailer weighs 9000 lbs plus.

For the weight distribution hitches from Blue Ox that have a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs, # BXW2000 and # BXW2003 you only need a hitch ball with either a 1" or 1-1/4" diameter shank.

For a 2" hitch ball you can use # 63845 and for a 2-5/16" hitch ball you can use # 63847. To put it on the system, you only need to slide the ball into the hitch head and tighten it. If you go to 5:45 of the linked video review you can see exactly how to install the hitch ball.

What wireless rear view camera is good? I have a 35 foot trailer and i need a wireless backup camera. I've tried the RVS camera Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera and it doesnt transmit video at 30 feet.

For a wireless rearview camera I recommend the Rampage Wireless Backup Camera # RA7710, which has a 300' transmission distance and syncs with your smartphone or tablet. It is portable so you can place it wherever is convenient for you and creates a Wi-Fi hotspot when turned on so you do not even need cell service to use it. I've added a link to a video review of this camera for you to check out.

The Reese Weight Distribution Head and Shank # RP54980 does not need a sway control bracket such as # RP26003, as it has a mounting hole on the side for a friction sway control such as # 83660.

That's a hard number to give as there are variables that will change what that dimension will be like how tall the frame is, how much spring bar tension is needed etc. You fine tune the spring bar tension for the setup based on the tongue…

The overall length from the hitch pin to bolt hole on The Reese Weight Dist Shank #RP69FR is 11-3/4 inches. The shank has a 1,400 pound tongue weight capacity, and has a black powder coat finish. I attached a review video link below.

Congrats on the new trailer and thanks for the pictures! I checked online and it looks like your 2022 Stryker STG 3313 tops out at just below 13,000 lbs. Tongue weight is typically 10% - 15% of your trailer's total weight. The 1,400 lbs system…

The shank of the Equal-i-zer weight distribution part #EQ64FR that you referenced does fit into a 2-1/2 inch hitch directly without needing the sleeve adapter you mentioned. The included ball is 2-5/16 inch.

Over torqueing the mounting bolts on your Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, #76112, may stress the mounting bolts to the limits and could cause a failure of the hitch. I recommend replacing the mounting bolts with #RHK. The #RHK is a replacement…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…
