Using The Curt TruTrack On A Trailer With An Underslung Coupler.

Question

Question:

I have a Jayco 33RBTS and tie with a Ram 3500 long bed crew cab. I have the curt trutrac wdh. The Jayco frame has the underslung coupler and as a result I cannot get the trunnion bars level. My question is do you have a longer L bracket for the trailer frame I could use to get the bars level ? I have tried the Weigh Safe trutow but those brackets are not long enough either. Thinking of bolting the brackets to the A frame if I have to.

Yes, we do offer longer frame brackets for the Curt TruTrack WD hitch. We have the # C17515 which are made for 8" frames, and the # C17516 which are made for 10" frames.

That said, the Curt TruTrack really is not made for underslung couplers. It's possible you can still get the system setup and working but it will never work as good as a system designed for this type of coupler. We do offer the Blue Ox Trackpro which is made specifically for underslung couplers # BLU35FR. This is their 13,000 lb model, which should be the right size for your Jayco 33RBTS camper. You will likely have a much easier time setting up a system like this since it is made specifically for a trailer like yours.

Hi Robin, Yes, you can absolutely use the 2" Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank #EQ90-02-4600 with the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution #BXW2000. The hole spacing on the Equal-i-zer shank is the same as the Blue Ox shank which is why they…

Yes, you are able to switch to the 2" Ball #A-90 on the Curt TruTrack 2P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System #C67ZV. As Curt does not offer the hitch with a 2" ball you will have to change it out yourself or have it done at the shop…
