The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW1003 is for trailer's with an under-slung coupler like part # CA-5335-B. If you have an over-slung coupler like part # CA-5400-B then you will need the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW1000 or you can just swap out the head, the Head for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems part # BXW4011.
