Recommended Weight Distribution System for 7,500 Lb Trailer
Question:
I have a 2009 GMC 2500 HD Deisal Duramax and will be pulling a 28foot Airstream trailer. Tough wieth is about 1,000lb, trailer weight 7,500 lbs max weight. Tring to detemine the best sway bar / wieght distribution setup. I dont want to drill holes in the trailer tougue. worried about structural intregrity On the underside of the trailer tougue there is tubing for the propane so a clamp on sway attachment would need to allow room for the tubing. Thoughts?

Expert Reply:
The typical tongue weight for a trailer with 7,500 lb GVWR will be between 750 lbs and 1,125 lbs. Therefore, the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 which is rated for 1,000 lbs would be ideal. This system has clamp-on frame brackets so there's no drilling required. It has integrated sway control and an included hitch ball which comes pre-torqued.
In regards to the propane line you'll have to bend or relocate this if it's in the way but there not much else you can do about that for any system.
