What Weight Distribution and Sway Control System Can I use on Trailer with Undermount Coupler
Question:
Thanks for the quick response and all the info...The problem with any of the chain systems for me is I have a v nose trailer, specially a 2010 3006w windjammer by forest river. according to forest river a chain system wont have the clearance....I think this leaves me with the equalizer. I know that they accommodate under mount couplers by reversing the bracket..That will work for me correct? and do you have those? thanks

Expert Reply:
The Reese High Performance SC Weight distribution will not work with an under mount coupler, especially with a 6 inch tall frame. You need to use a chain style weight distribution system to compensate for the height. Chain style WD systems utilize Dual Cam sway control which is also a better system for controlling sway.
At the same weight range as the 66155 you referenced, you could use Reese Strait-Line Trunnion System, part # RP66084. We also have heavier duty and lighter duty systems. I have added a link to all our chain connected weight distribution systems with sway control included.
