• Solution for Blue Ox Weight Distribution System That Needs More Drop to Tow Trailer Level
  Hey Joseph, we have just what you are looking for but the Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # BLU28XR is not your ideal solution to get more drop.

• Best Weight Distribution System for Grand Design Momentum 25G Trailer With 11,500 lb GVWR
  For the Grand Design Momentum 25G the best Equal-i-zer weight distribution system is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW # EQ37140ET.

• How Level Does Trailer Need To Be Using Weight Distribution
  It's really going to depend on how far out of level you are. If you're within an inch or two of level, especially if it's nose-high, you'll be just fine. Turning off the auto-leveling system is not a bad ideal, if it keeps the rear of the vehicle at the correct ride height so the trailer tows level, or nearly level. Keep in mind-when you tow, you'll likely have cargo in the rear of your Yukon, which would likely cause the rear to squat a bit more than it is now. This will likely put the...

• Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control for 8700 lb Travel Trailer Pulled With Lifted Truck
  Since you have a pretty long camper, it'll be pretty susceptible to trailer sway caused by cross winds and oncoming or passing traffic. A large camper with tall sides acts like a big sail on a boat which is why using a weight distribution system with a good integrated sway control component is highly recommended. If the 8750 lb figure represents the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of your trailer including the weight of anything carried in the truck bed behind the rear axle, then...

  In order to choose the correct weight distribution system for your truck and trailer, it is really important to know your trailer's loaded and ready to tow tongue weight.

• Determining The Correct Drop Shank For An Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch
  To determine the correct drop needed the safest way is to first get the trailer and truck on level ground and level the trailer. You'll measure from the ground up to the top of the inside of the trailer hitch receiver tube on the truck and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer. You'll subtract the trailer's height from the truck's height to get your drop. With you being off 1.5" to 2" adding in spacers really isn't going to be enough. Each hole in the shank is an inch difference...
