Effective Tongue Weight Range for Reese RP66560 Steadi Flex Weight Distriubtion System
Question:
I have a question about the hitch weight range on this product. Is the weights that are listed a range from 700 to 1100? I dont want to order a hitch that is to much for the trailer hitch weight I have of 635lbs. Is this hitch adjustable in its weight settings for different hitch weights? Your help is greatly appreciated. Best regards

Expert Reply:
The spring bars used on weight distribution systems like the Reese # RP66560 Steadi Flex are rated for a certain range of trailer tongue weights. The bars included with the # RP66560 are rated between 600-1200 lbs and would work perfectly for any tongue weight within that range. Adjustment isn't possible or necessary.
You'll also need a trailer ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank. For a 2 inch ball, use # A-90 or for a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 19286.
I've linked you to a video that explains the setup process.
