Question:
I have a 9,000lb tri-axle boat/trailer that I pull with a 2007 Nissan Titan. I want to make sure that the surge brakes will work well with the pro series hitch.

The Reese SC weight distribution system is a great choice for your 2007 Nissan Titan and also for your trailer with surge brakes. The traditional chain style weight distribution bars pose a problem for surge brakes, but not these system with the friction hangers.
If your tongue weight is under 800 pounds, I would recommend part # RP66153. It has enough gross trailer capacity and includes a shank.
If your tongue weight is more than 800 pounds, you will need to go with a heavier system like part # RP66157.
Both systems include an adjustable shank, but the appropriate sized trailer ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank will be needed. If a 2 inch ball is needed, use part # A-90, or part # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
I will provide links to the instructions for each weight distribution system.
