Can The Curt Frame Brackets for Curt TruTrack WDS Be Bolted On?
Question:
Can the brackets be bolted to the frame rather than hung? I have a v nose enclosed trailer and the brackets will meet the 4” mark on the bars if bolted on otherwise when hung they are at 9” on the bar. Also is there a video of how to change the bar angles on the head. Thanks

If you're having issues with space, I recommend going with the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # RP58305 rather than # C17508.
These brackets can be welded/bolted onto the frame of your V-nose trailer, and is compatible with any chain-hanger style weight distribution system like the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66084.
I have included an installation video for you to reference.
