Weight Distribution Recommendation fo a 2007 Chevy Avalanche 1500 and a V-nose Trailer

Since you have a V-nose Hauler, clearance can be an issue, you will need to make sure that any weight distribution setup you purchase will mount in the area between the coupler and the front of the V-nose on the trailer frame. With the Pro Series SC Weight Distribution, the frame bracket can be located within a range between the coupler ball center to the center of the frame bracket. If your gross trailer weight is 7,500 pounds the Range is 18 to 32 inches, 11,000 pounds the range is 24 to 32 inches and 14,000 pounds the range is 28 to 32 inches.

Another option would be the Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch System, item # RP66074, along with the Bolt On Weight Distribution Chain Hanger Kit, item # RP58305, which will allow the installation of the hitch with your V-Nose trailer. The hanger kit will allow the weight distribution chain hangers to be mounted past the nose of the trailer on the frame, as long as there is clearance to hook the chains on the brackets. The Strait-Line System is the most advanced sway control system available and works to prevent sway before it happens rather that stop it once it has begun like other systems.

If you would like to provide the gross trailer weight and tongue weight of your trailer, as loaded and ready to travel, along with the distance from the center of the coupler to the front of your trailer nose, I would be glad to make a specific recommendation for your trailer.
