Reese Weight Distribution System Chain Hangers Installation Video

Reese (manufacturer of the Strait Line) has told me that the use of their weight distribution systems on an aluminum trailer is limited by what the trailer manufacturer states is okay. Since Featherlite has determined that your trailer is fine to use…

Ideally, you would want the chains to be straight up and down. A slight angle is permissible. What I recommend is to change the chain hanger type being used. There are 2 options. First we have a type that bolts to the side of the trailer frame,…

You will need to have the chains on a Strait-Line weight distribution system straight up and down. There isn't a range of angles at which the chains can hang but I would not place the brackets off by more than 1/4 inch of where they are supposed…

To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind…

Because your trailer is fairly heavy, I would recommend you go with 2 of the #58392 lift brackets. The 58392 has extra gusseting welded to it for reinforcement, and would be better suited to a heavier trailer like yours, because the spring bars will…

There is a weight distribution hitch option for your new 2021 Intech Flyer Discover with a completely covered A-frame. Instead of using a standard weight distribution hitch which has brackets that go around the frame you will need to use a weight…

Since your loaded tongue weight is only 740 lbs you want to go with the 1,200 lb bar, part #RP66009, as this gives you a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,200 lbs which is more than enough for your towing setup. If you went with the 1,500 lb bar…

The standard spring bar brackets in the Equal-i-zer 4-Point Weight Distribution Systems #EQ37140ET and #EQ37120ET will fit trailer frames up to 6-inches in height as you noted. There is no alternate part or adapter to allow these systems to be fitted…

Extreme tight turns like jack-knifing could result in the bar sliding too far and coming off the dual-cam mount on a Reese Strait-Line system. But average driving situations should not be a problem unless something was not adjusted correctly. With a…

You can upgrade your Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System with Sway Control, 10,000 pounds GTW, 600 pounds TW #RP66082 with the 800 pound trunnion bars, #RP22225 to increase your system's tongue weight. The part number includes 1 bar, so…

The 600 pound spring bars would be rated too low for 630 pounds of tongue weight and the system would be ineffective. The 800 pound bars are the way to go. Try to lower the trailer end of the spring bars by one chain link for less tension and that…

To get the Reese Dual Cam Sway Control System #RP26002 to fit, your spring bars will need to have a curved end that the chains are attached to. Kind of hard to explain, so I did include a picture of the end of the bar this fits. With that being said…
