Will the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Work with a Weight Distribution System

Question:

will this rack mount around an equilizer wd hitch, and if so does this carrier include the bicycle rack itself, or is it just a receiver for a bike rack.

Yes, you can use the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack part # CC-275 alongside a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System. The brackets for the Bike Bunk can be installed anywhere on the a-frame where the rails are spaced 12" - 52" apart. Therefore, you only need to have 4" of space in this location for the width of the Bike Bunk brackets. I have attached a photo for you that shows the Bike Bunk installed alongside a set of brackets for a similar weight distribution system.

The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack does not include a bike rack, this will need to be purchased separately. However, the bike rack must be rated for use on a trailer and most are not. For one that is, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack part # S63381. The other option you have if space is limited would be to use the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers part # LC429756 which does come with the bike rack.
