Expert Reply:
I took a look at the instructions for the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System item # BXW1000 you were looking at. From the top of the spring bar where the chain attaches to the top of your trailer frame there will be a distance of just about 11" when set on the 9th link not the 5th. Please also keep in mind that because of how the clamp on brackets attach to the frame this particular system will only work well on frames that are up to 6" tall.
For taller frames your best option will be to add the Reese Chain Hangers item # RP58305 to use in place of the included brackets. These will bolt to the outside of the trailer frame so the height won't be an issue.
