Create a 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.
Unique Features of Reese Trunnion-Bar Weight Distribution
The easy-to-use, serrated washers on the Reese system make adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This is a huge improvement over the standard pin-and-washer method, which involves piling washers - one on top of another - onto a difficult-to-access pin. The serrated-washer system lets you easily loosen, adjust and tighten a single washer and nut on either side of the head for simple, secure positioning.
The trunnion spring bars of this system slide into the weight-distribution head for quick, easy installation. With a tapered design and hot rolled steel construction, these bars offer superior flex, ensuring a smooth, controlled ride for both your tow vehicle and your trailer. In addition, these specially designed bars have rounded, hooked ends, making them the only kind of spring bars that can function with Reese's active-style, dual-cam sway control (sold separately).

- Weight Distribution System for a 2004 Ford F-350 Towing a Travel Trailer
- As you are currently set up, you should have no problem towing a trailer of that particular weight, but the trailer you mention is pretty long.

- Weight Distribution with Sway Control and Brake Controller for a 2007 Chevy Tahoe and Car Hauler
- Adding a weight distribution and sway control system to your 2007 Chevy Tahoe will help with the stability problems you are experiencing. The correct system depends on the tongue weight of the trailer when it is loaded. Your trailer tongue weight should be about in the middle of the tongue weight capacity of the system you choose. So if your trailers tongue weight is 1,200 pounds, you will want a system with an 800 to 1,500 pound range.
An example of a system in this range is the High Perform

- Recommended Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch for 6600 lb 34 Foot Camper with TW of 700 lbs
- Due to the length of the trailer, I believe a Strait-Line Weight Distribution System that combines weight distribution with the Reese Dual Cam Sway Control would be your most effective option.
When the trailer tongue weight is determined, make sure to include the weight of anything stored in the truck bed behind the rear axle. If the 700 lb figure represents the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer, then there are two different Strait-Line systems that would work for you

- Since your trailer weighs more than 50 percent of the vehicle weight, adding weight distribution and sway control is a good idea. To determine the best system for your truck and trailer, you will need to go by the tongue weight. To get the actual tongue weight you will need to add the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow to the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the truck.
If the trailer weighs 6,000 pounds and you will not be carrying anything behind the r
