Can Strait Line Weight Distribution System Be Used on Dump Trailer that Weighs Around 10k

Question:

Has anyone used this with a full dump trailer 10-12K lbs?

People do use weight distribution systems on dump trailers so I am confident someone has used the Strait Line kit part # RP66073 with one. You'd just need to make sure the trailer a-frame channels are less than 2-1/2 inches. As long as the tongue weight of the trailer falls within the range of the system which in this case is 400-800 this kit would be fine.

But if the dump trailer was between 10-12k you'd need a higher rated since the tongue weight is going to be higher. The part # RP66083 has a tongue weight range of between 600-1,200 lbs which would be more in line what what you'd need.
