Are There Larger Frame Brackets for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Systems

Question

Question:

Is it possible to get larger frame brackets for a Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW ITEM # C17501. I have a southern 8.5X24 14k bumper pull flat bed trailer and the frame brackets that go around the frame are not long enough to put the bottom bolt through. I tried searching on the site but only found replacement brackets in the same size. Thank you.

Yes, there are longer frame brackets for the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Systems like part # C17501 which accommodate taller frames, the Frame Brackets for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Systems part # C17515 for 8" tall frames or part # C17516 for 10" tall frames. These like the original brackets feature a bolt-on install and come with everything you need to secure the spring bars to the trailer frame.

Answer 5

Because we don't offer a system that would cover a tongue weight range from 500-1500 lbs, I'd recommend choosing a system set up for when the trailer is fully loaded, as the empty tongue weight of the dump trailer isn't likely to cause…
