Question

Question:

Original Hitch, P/N 92-00-0800, had a MTW of 800 lbs GTW 8000 lbs. Ive replaced the shank with P/N EQ90-02-4900, MTW 1600 lbs GTW 16000 lbs. Currently towing a max trailer capacity of 7300 lbs Hitch weight 875 lbs. Question: Am I within specs using this set-up or do I need to move up to a heavier duty hitch? Thank you for your assistance.

You will simply need to change out the Trunnion Bars # FA92-01-1099 on your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800. These new bars are rated for trailers up to 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. With your current trailer having the tongue weight of 875lbs it is to much for the 400-800lb bars included with your hitch.
