Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW

Fastway Weight Distribution - FA92-00-1000

Two points of steel-on-steel friction work to prevent and correct trailer sway in this weight-distribution system. Sway-control brackets help to ensure that your trailer stays in line with your tow vehicle. Adjustable shank included.

Features:

• Evenly distributes weight over axles of tow vehicle and trailer for stability and control
  • Creates a more level ride for both tow vehicle and trailer
• 2 Integrated points of sway control limit side-to-side movement of trailer
  • Brackets keep spring bars in place for a rigid system that holds trailer in line
    • No lift chains - spring bars can't move freely
    • Steel-on-steel friction helps to minimize sway caused by winds, curvy roads or sudden maneuvers
• Unique design makes system compatible with surge-type brake actuators
• Trunnion spring bars flex appropriately over uneven terrain for a controlled, even ride without the bounce
• No-drill, clamp-on brackets can be adjusted along the trailer frame to accommodate frame-mounted items such as gas tanks, toolboxes or generators
• Desired tilt is achieved with traditional washer design
  • Add or remove washers from spacer rivet to tilt head up or down
• Powder coated steel construction is durable and corrosion resistant
• Snap-up lever eases installation by reducing lifting required by trailer jack
• System includes head assembly, adjustable shank, spring bars, sway-control brackets, lift handle, pin and clip, and all necessary hardware
  • Hitch ball sold separately - requires 1-1/4" diameter shank

Create a more stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.

Selecting a Weight-Distribution System

The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight-distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.

To determine the proper weight rating for a weight-distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight-distribution system.

Fastway e2 Sway Control

The two points of sway control within the e2 are created by the steel-on-steel friction that occurs when the spring bars slide within the L-brackets that are mounted on the trailer tongue. Most traditional weight-distribution systems have spring bars that are suspended by chains. Although this ensures that the system is not so rigid as to create bounce in the trailer, it also allows a good deal of side-to-side play in the system.

The direct friction that is applied to the spring bars in the e2 system helps to stop sway once it has begun. The concept is similar to the way in which an add-on friction-sway-control device functions. When each spring bar moves forward or backward, or side to side, it rubs along the bracket, creating friction. The resistance created by this action limits the movement of the spring bar, thus preventing further side-to-side movement of the trailer.

Most add-on units feature some sort of friction material similar to that used in automotive brakes. But the e2 uses direct steel-on-steel contact to create resistance. This is the same sort of friction that is used with locomotives that pull loaded railcars weighing tons. No additional materials are needed. The steel will outlast any of those other materials, providing an extremely durable, functional sway-control system.

• Strait-Line Weight Distribution Recommendation for 350 lb TW Trailer Towed by 2011 Nissan Frontier
  
• There are weight distribution systems that would work very well for you, but the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1000 that you referenced would be better used with a trailer with more tongue weight than the 350 lbs of your trailer. You should also note that you will want to know the loaded tongue weight of your setup, and that any cargo that is behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle will be considered tongue weight also.

• Recommendation for Weight Distribution on 2009 Chevy Trailblazer Towing Jayco 4,600-Lb Trailer
  
• Since the towing capacity of your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is 5,200 lbs and you are towing a 4,600-lb dry weight trailer, you will want to be careful and not overload the trailer with extra cargo that might put you over the 5,200-lb limit. Also, when loading the trailer make sure to load 60 percent of the cargo closer to the front (tongue) of the trailer. This will also help with sway control of the trailer. For your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4WD towing a 5,200-lb trailer the tongue weight

• What WD/Sway Control System Will Fit a 2013 Forest River 27HFS Toy Hauler with 8-Inch Frame
  
• The ideal choice of WD system will be one where your loaded trailer tongue weight (TW) falls in the middle of the systems usable range. A WD system that is too low in capacity will not provide the necessary stabilization; and one rated too high will be too stiff and result in erratic performance. If the trailer TW exceeds the capacity of the system, the spring bars could be damaged. If the WD system chosen is rated too high for the trailer TW then the spring bars will not flex enough, and the tr
