Best Weight Distribution and Sway Control for 10,000 lb Trailer
Question:
I have 06 f350powerstroke. 4x4 crew long bed lifted up. I am buying a 10k 8.5x24 enclosed with 8tf roof. What sway bar sit up would u suggest. It will be 2 big utv and camping gear. I ask because all I ever pulled was gooseneck trailers. It will need to have at least 6 in hitch also

Expert Reply:
Since tongue weight is typically 10-15 percent of the total weight of a trailer and your trailer weighs 10,000 lbs the best sway control and weight distribution is the part # RP66075 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 to 1,700 lb and features the most effective sway control at preventing sway before it starts. Then for a shank that will do the drop you need as well you'd want the part # C17123 and then for a hitch ball # A-90 and you'd be set!
