Reese SC Trunnion Weight Distribution Kit with Sway Control 800 lbs. TW / 10,000 lbs. GTW
Six points of friction control trailer sway. Four points of steel on steel friction are found in the weight distribution head while the two most important points of friction are found along the weight distribution spring bars. The tapered spring bars are attached to the trailer frame with a hanger system that provides a platform for the spring bar to rest on. These large platforms are composed of an automotive friction material (as found in car brakes) which creates 10 times the amount of friction force as compared to steel on steel friction. When installed properly, the spring bars are constantly exerting force down on to the these platforms (this downward force is what distributes the weight). When the trailer comes out of a straight line for turns etc., the spring bars slide along the top of the large friction pad. Turns exert enough force to slide the spring bars over the friction pad, however, gusts of wind will have a much harder time.
This system is the same as the Pro Series SC, however it utilizes tapered spring bars. Tapered bars provide superior weight distribution performance over uneven roads and in various weather conditions while also putting less strain on the vehicle.
Features:
- 6-points of friction to control trailer sway
- 4 steel on steel points in the weight distribution head
- 2 large friction pads hang from trailer frame
- Tapered bars provide superior weight distribution on uneven roads and in many different weather conditions
- Lift handle accessory included to reduce the amount of lifting required by the trailer jack when preloading the weight distribution system
- Automotive friction material provides consistent friction in all weather conditions
- Large friction pads make full contact with the spring bars which translates into a longer life and more consistent performance
- Serrated washers make it easy to dial in the set-up of the weight distribution system
- Serrated washers help control the tilt or angle of the weight distribution head
- Raised hitch ball platform eliminates the need for hitch balls with raised shanks
- No drill clamp on brackets can be installed within a wide range to accompany gas bottles, batteries, tool boxes etc. on the trailer tongue
Specs:
- Designed for a tongue weight between 400 lbs. - 800 lbs.
- Maximum Towing Weight: 10,000 lbs.
- Hangers with friction pads clamp on to trailer frame without any drilling
- Hangers can be adjusted from 20" to 27" back from the center of the ball along the trailer frame
- Adjustments can vary by weight rating
- Works well on trailers with hydraulic (surge) brake actuators
- Made in the USA
- Limited lifetime warranty
Note: Weight Distribution Shank and Trailer Hitch Ball are sold separately. Hitch ball requires 1-1/4" shank to maximize towing capacity.
