Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty Weight Distribution Questions

• Heavy Duty Weight Distribution System for a 14K Trailer with an I-Beam Frame
  
• I spoke with my contact at Reese and he said that you will need to use a standard weight distribution kit like the Heavy Duty Trunnion Weight Distribution System # RP66131 that you have referenced, for your I-beam trailer. To use the Heavy Duty Trunnion Weight Distribution System, # RP66131, you will need to have a steel plate 5 or 6 inches wide welded, by an experienced welder, at 30 inches on center from the center of the hitch ball. Before modifying the trailer frame you will need to check

• How to Pick Out a Weight Distribution System for a 30 ft Travel Trailer
  
• The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off the loaded tongue weight of your setup. Chances are the Strait-Line Weight Distribution # RP66074 that you referenced that has a 1,200 lb tongue weight rating would work for you, but you will still want to determine the loaded tongue weight of your setup. I attached an FAQ article on how to determine loaded tongue weight. Once you know the loaded tongue weight you can pick out a system that encompasses the tongue weight r

• Is the Ball Mount and Shank Included with the Reese SC Weight Distribution System # RP66151
  
• The weight distribution shank and weight distribution head are included with the Reese SC Weight Distribution System w Sway Control, item # RP66151, that you selected. The only item you will need to complete the installation is a properly sized hitch ball to match the coupler on your trailer. If your trailer has a 2-5/16 inch coupler you will need the Hitch Ball with 2-5/16 inch Diameter and Medium Shank, 12,000 lbs GTW, item # 19286. If your trailer has a 2 inch coupler you will need the Hit

• Is There a Weight Distribution System With a 3-1/2 Inch Drop To Level a Trailer
  
• You are not misinterpreting the specs on our product page. Those are the rise and drop measurements of the shanks that come with the weight distribution system. You can purchase a separate shank like the Reese Weight Distribution Shank, # RP63971, that can adjust down to a 5-3/4 inch drop and can also accommodate the 3-1/2 inch drop that you need. This shank will also support up to 1,500 lbs of tongue weight. For your 10,000 lb trailer, I would recommend the Reese SC Weight Distribution

• Reese Dual-Cam Sway Control Mounting Brackets are Loose On the Trailer Frame
  
• First, if the hole has become enlarged making the bolt loose or damaging the threads, this could indicate that the system is overloaded. Make sure to stay within the capacity of the system to avoid damage. Taking excessively tight turns can also have a negative impact on the system. I spoke with my contact at Reese and he said that in this case you can run a bolt all the way through the frame. You have to use caution to not over tighten it though because with a hollow channel (box frame) you

• Troubleshooting Sway on a 2008 Ford F350 Towing a Trailer with Weight Distribution System
  
• A couple things stood out to me when I read your email. The first thing is, you did not mention how you had the weight distributed in your trailer. The best way to fight sway is by proper trailer loading. The more weight you can put on the front of your trailer the better chance you have of eliminating sway. The next thing is that you never listed your fully loaded tongue. In order to pick out the best weight distribution system you need to know the tongue weight of the setup when it is fully

• Weight Distribution and Brake Controller for Towing a 23 Foot Travel Trailer with a 2004 Ford F-250
  
• Yes, the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System item # RP66086, would work with the trailer weight fully loaded at 5,500 pounds, but you will be very close to the maximum recommended tongue weight rating for the spring bars in the weight distribution system. A better option would be the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System, item # RP66087, which will allow for more tongue weight should your trailer load get heavier in the future. I have included links to the installation details below. A

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 2006 Keystone Zeppelin 291 and 2005 Ford F-250
  
• Weight distribution is recommended any time the trailer weighs at least 50 percent of the vehicle weight or if the vehicle is sagging at the back when the trailer is connected. Sway control would be a good idea in general. From the research I did I found the weight of a 2006 Keystone Zeppelin 291 is 4520 pounds. Tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight so that would be 452 to 678 pounds. You would then add to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear a

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 2005 Ford F-250 and Fleetwood Trailer
  
• The first thing you should look at when choosing a weight distribution system is the tongue weight of the trailer, loaded and ready to tow, combine with the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the truck. You will want a system that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses this combined weight. The Strait-Line systems feature dual-cam sway control which proactively and aggressively resists the start of sway by forcing the vehicle and trailer to ride in straight line. A

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2004 Ford F-250 Crew Cab and Puma 30KFB
  
• Air springs are good for trucks that haul a variety of load types and sizes and will allow you to level the bed accordingly. Helper springs or overload types of springs are good for static loads that will not be changing often. But I have a better solution for this issue if the primary need is to level the truck when you tow the trailer. The best solution that will give you additional benefits is to use a weight distribution system. These systems where designed to take the squat out of the ve

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2011 Ford F-250 Towing a 24 Foot, 14,000 Pound Trailer
  
• When choosing a weight distribution system, you will want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight when loaded and ready to tow. When calculating tongue weight you will also need to factor in the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the truck. For example if you are towing at the maximum of your truck at 12,500 pounds, and tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight, that would put the tongue weight between 1,250

• Weight Distribution Sway Control for a 2005 Ford F-250 with Truck Camper in Bed and Boat Trailer
  
• This is a little tricky because you also have to add the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the truck to the tongue weight of the trailer to choose the correct system. Since only part of the camper is behind the rear axle you would have to determine what fraction of the camper since behind the rear axle to get a rough estimate of the weight. So if half of the camper is behind the rear axle, that would be 700 pounds added to the 600 pound trailer tongue weight. If only a quarte

• 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. I would consider going with a weight distribution system because of the improvements in ride, steering and braking that the system would give you. The Reese High Performance Trunnion System, part # RP66020, would work just fine. This system is designed to work with tongue weights ranging from 200-600 lbs. If your loaded tongue weight is more than 600

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2004 Keystone Springer GVW 9680 lbs
  
• The important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer. You must also consider the weight of any cargo that will be loaded in the bed of your truck behind the rear axle. This will also contribute to the total tongue weight of the weight distribution system. You will want to choose a weight distribution system that can support the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your set up. The Fastway e2 Wei

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Towing Multiple Trailers
  
• Finding the correct weight distribution system for multiple trailers can be a difficult task because weight distributions systems must be chosen based on the fully loaded tongue weight of the trailer. For your situation, I would recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System, # EQ90-00-1200, that you referenced. This system will be more effective on trailers with heavier tongue weights which is where sway and weight distribution will be more of an issue. One thing that you should keep

• Weight Distribution with Sway Control Recommendation Ford Super Duty Towing a 7300 lb Trailer
  
• The dual cam style of the Strait-Line series weight distribution systems works proactively to prevent sway before it starts. Whereas, the friction sway control of the SC series systems do help with sway, but they do not work to prevent sway before it starts like the dual cam systems do. Both of these sway control styles will help with sway, but if you are looking for the better option for sway control I would recommend you get the dual cam setup.

• What Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Ford F-250F Pulling 6000 lb Car Hauler Trailer
  
• The sag in your F-250 rear end and the loose handling when pulling your trailer can be corrected with a weight distribution/sway control system such as the Fastway e2, part # FA94-00-0800. An appropriate WD/SC system will level out your tow vehicle by placing more of the total weight load back on to your front axle, which will restore both braking and steering performance; and the sway control will help your trailer maintain straight-line tracking behind your F-250. A few things have to be s

• Will Reese Weight Distribution, Part # RP66157, Work on Trailer with Adjustable Height Coupler?
  
• The Reese Trunnion Weight Distribution System, part # RP66157, may not work with your adjustable trailer coupler. The plate that the coupler bolts on to does appear to be in the way of the trunnion spring bars. It is not clear from the photo how wide this plate is, but if it is more than about 4 inches wide the trunnion bars may not clear its outside edges. If you will provide the following measurements I can check with Reese about fit on your trailer. Please provide 1) the distance from the top
