What is Best Weight Distribution and Sway Control System for Trailer with 1,200-1,300 Tongue Weight
Question:
We have a 20foot box trailer, 8 1/2foot tall, with a tongue weight varying in the 1200 to 1300 pound range. We have a 2inch hitch receiver and want to have the strongest system without stressing it. What would you recommend. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The best weight distribution system with sway control for a trailer with tongue weight that is between 1,200 and 1,300 lbs is easily the Strait Line kit part # RP66130 as it has a tongue weight range of 800-1,500 lbs and features the best proactive style of sway control that works to fight and prevent sway before it starts. The spring bars are also made of the highest quality spring steel too.
For a shank with enough capacity for this system that also fits a 2 inch hitch you'd want the pat # RP54970 and then for a hitch ball # 19286 and you'd be set with the best weight distribution and sway control setup for your box trailer.
