Weight Distribution System for an ATC Raven Cargo Trailer

Question:

Do these come in a longer length like 8inch or 9? I have the reese dual cam hitch and am planning to use it on a atc raven which has a 8inch wide tongue......

I do have an option for you but we do not offer a longer version of the Replacement Square U-bolts for 26000 Dual Cam Sway Control part # 58000. 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 space available on the frame rail 30" from the hitch ball. I took a look at the ATC Raven Cargo Trailer and they all have a relatively short tongue therefore you may need to consider a short arm system like the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System part # C17322 which only needs space available on the frame rail around 28" from the hitch ball. I spoke with Curt and they said you could use the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System on an aluminum frame trailer however you will still need to check with ATC to see what they recommend.

If you can provide me with your total tongue weight (loaded trailer + cargo behind rear axle of tow vehicle) I would be happy to recommend an exact system for you.
