Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Trailer w/ Different Weights
Question:
I have a ram rebel 1500 2022 and am pulling a 20foot landscaper trailer with any where between 4500 and 7000 lbs on it! I have a lot of back end sag and was wondering what weight distribution set up you would suggest? I back up constantly and do not want to bars that snap or come undone! Thank you

Expert Reply:
4,500 lbs to 7,500 lbs is a pretty wide range of weight. Tongue weight is typically 10% - 15% of your trailer's total weight and in your case that's 450 lbs - 1,050 lbs. The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # BW78FR is going to be your only option. It has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,600 lbs and it won't feel too stiff when you are hauling a lighter load.
The B&W Continuum item # BW78FR has built in sway control and will definitely level out the sag in the rear end of your truck. You will not need to make adjustments or disconnect this system when you are backing up.
