• Installation of Blue Ox Weight Distribution Bracket BXW4021 on Tall Trailer Frame
  I reached out to my contact at Blue Ox and they checked with their engineer and rotating the assembly of the Blue Ox Signature Series Lift Brackets for SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems # BXW4021 will not work. The chain would not have the proper angle for function and there is also a stop that would not be in the correct location to function properly. With that large a frame, I recommend either welding the assemblies on or running the bolts through your frame to allow proper function....

• Recommended SwayPro Lift Bracket for C-Channel Frame Trailer
  The Clamp-On Lift Brackets for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems # BXW4010 is not the best option for a C-channel frame.

• 10,000 lb Weight Distribution & Sway Control With Chain Hangers for Enclosed Trailer
  While we have a solution for you, your Fastway system is not compatible with chain hangers, so it won't work with your enclosed trailer. If you need to use chain hangers, the only option is a different weight distribution system that is rated properly for your 7,000 lb GVWR trailer and can use chain hangers. For that, the best option of quality and price - overall value - is the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution with Sway Control # BXW1000. You would also need the Blue Ox Signature...

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for Forest River Camper with 10 Stacked Frame Tongue
  Thanks for all of the information! Yes, you can use the Blue Ox Signature Series Lift Brackets # BXW4021 for your application.

• Weight Distribution System Compatibility with V-Nose Enclosed Trailer
  V-nose trailers can be a little complicated because they often don't have the exposed frame rail but all other components are very similar to a standard A-frame trailer. Because the frame isn't exposed far enough for many brackets to work, you simply swap the brackets with chain hangers like # RP58305. This will allow you to use a chain style weight distribution system which can also use a friction sway bar, or you can use the Reese Strait-Line Dual Cam brackets that attach to the underside...

• Can Blue Ox Brackets be Used on a Curt Weight Distribution System
  The only component that can safely be mixed and matched on weight distribution (WD) systems is the shank. If you are using a Curt system then you need to use the Hook Up Brackets # C17208 and I do not recommend using Blue Ox Brackets # BXW4021 or # BXW4020.

• Can Curt Chain Hangers Be Used Instead Of Clamp On Hangers Provided With BXW2000?
  The Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # C17005 will work for chain style systems that don't have sway control, so if you replace the tightening clamps of the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW2000 you would lose the sway control ability of the hitch but it could still function for weight distribution. My recommendation instead is to use the Blue Ox Signature Series Lift Brackets for SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems - Clamp On or Bolt...

• Best Way to Control Sway With Heavy V-Nose Car Hauler
  I can certainly help you get your family to Alaska safely as we do have some options that will be helpful, but it will depend on a few different factors. There is actually an anti-sway weight distribution system that would work, the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW2000, though this would require your 2017 Ford F-250 have a 2-1/2" hitch like the Curt # C15802, and you would also need to switch the brackets from the SwayPro's clamp on to the Blue Ox Signature Series...

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 14,000 lb
  You'd need a high rated weight distribution system for a trailer that weighs 14k. We have the Blue Ox SwayPro kit part # BWX2000 which has a tongue weight range of 1,500 - 2,000 lbs which would be about right for your 14k rated trailer. For a hitch ball you'd then want the part # 63840. Due to your large frame dimensions you'd have to swap out the chain hangers for the # BXW4021 which you can bolt to the side of the trailer frame.

• Best Weight Distribution System for I-Beam Trailers with GTW up to 20,000 Lbs
  In order to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will need to find the total tongue weight (TTW) of your towing setup by adding the tongue weight (TW) of both your loaded ready to tow trailer and any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The average TW rating of a trailer is typically 10-15% of the gross trailer weight (GTW). An easy way to find this would involve using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer Trailer Tongue Weight Scale part # e99044. When...

• What is the Difference Between the Blue Ox BXW0550 and BXW0553
  They do look similar but the # BXW0550 is designed for standard trailer couplers and the # BXW0553 is designed for underslung couplers. In order to make sure this will work for your trailer you'll want to make sure your tongue weight falls between 350-lbs and 550-lbs, has trailer frame height between 3" and 6" and up to 2-5/8" wide. It sounds like your frame is 4" x 4", so you wouldn't want to use the included clamp on chain hangers. Instead of the clamp on hangers you could either use...

• Is There a Weight Distribution System that Will Fit an 8 inch Tall Trailer Frame
  I have a solution for you but the Reese Weight Distribution w/out Shank # RP66021 that you referenced won't work well for you due to how tall your frame is. So what you'll need to do is install an under slung coupler on your trailer like the # CA-5335-B which basically gives you a coupler that attaches to the bottom of the trailer frame so that you can use a weight distribution system designed for underslung coupler like the # BXW1003 which has a tongue weight range of 750-1,000 lbs. You...

• Recommended Hub and Drum Assembly, Brakes, and Brake Controller for 2018 Cargo Craft 6 x 9 Trailer
  In order to find out which hub and drum assembly fits your 3,500 lb axle on your Cargo Craft trailer you will need to know which bearings are on your axle. If you have a serial number on the axle you can probably get this information from the manufacturer. If not, you will need to look for part numbers stamped in your existing bearings or take some measurements. I recommend using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157. Assuming you have the most common bearings on your 3,500 lb axle, and...

• Leveling and Weight Distribution for a Truck with Camper Pulling a Trailer
  Prior to purchase, I want to recommend a few things to double check before purchasing your kit. First, you'll check with your trailer manufacturer to be sure that your trailer is approved for use with a weight distribution system. Some trailers, especially aluminum ones, can be too weak to stand up against the forces applied by a distribution system and can fail. You'll also verify that your extension and hitch are rated for use with weight distribution systems. Next, you'll verify...
