Review of Curt - Weight Distribution - C17114 Video

Sorry to hear that about your Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control #C17063! We do have replacement parts available for this system. Here are various pieces of the head unit that you might need: Adjustable Shank - #C17100…

The key for a weight distribution system to properly move trailer tongue weight forward to the tow vehicle's front axle is to match the system to the trailer's fully-loaded tongue weight. Systems rated too low will not have enough tension to…

Yes, the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 6-Hole Shank item #BLU75FR will work with a 6" C channel trailer frame like the one on your Big Tex 14ET-22. This system only has 2 point sway control and is the lowest model Blue Ox…

According to our contact at Draw-Tite the best way to use a weight distribution system with an automatic leveling system is to first start your Yukon and put a slight load on the rear of the truck to let the air suspension begin to level the vehicle.…

I definitely recommend replacing your 3,500 lb 26 inch leaf springs with the 26 inch 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles #e22YR. The 4,500 lb would be too stiff and your ride would suffer so the better option by far are the 4k…

The 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000 lbs Trailer Axles item #e34SR can be mounted either way. The straps do not have to be facing the same direction. These springs are 25-1/4" from bolt hole to bolt hole and are made for 6,000 lbs axles or…

I checked directly with Dexter, and from what I saw they have a measurement - taken from center of spring eye to center of spring eye - of 24.8", which is the same as our 24-7/8" measurement for the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb…

You can mount trailer axles above or below the leaf springs. The difference is just the amount of ground clearance that the trailer would end up having. The biggest advantage with the spring below the axle (trailer will be lower) is that you would…

You'd just need to remove the oil and replace it with grease like our LMX red grease part #L11390 as the seal and cap you have now would work just fine with grease instead.

The Dexter 12K oil bath axles can be changed over to grease without any issues. The oil does keep the bearings lubricated well, but there is a much higher risk of leaking which leads to a much higher risk of failure. I'd personally move to grease…

You'll basically just need to remove as much of the oil from your hubs as you can and then pack them with grease instead of oil. Oil seals and caps seal better than grease seals and caps so to make the conversion you want to make is not hard at…

Eight inches from the ground to the bottom of your weight distribution shank would be fine for most situations but like you've experienced turning into inclined driveways can cause it to drag. Your trailer must sit pretty low to call for your…
