For a 7000-lb loaded trailer the typical tongue weight (TW) range will be 700 to 1050-bs so the trunnion bar you'll want to use with Curt weight distribution head # C17307 is part # C17303. You will need to order two since this bar is sold individually.

If you want to measure your trailer TW accurately you can use the etrailer scale # e99044. Please tell me the total TW you measure and the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle, since that has to be added to the trailer TW. If you need higher-rated bars we can help you choose them based on your total TW.
