• Correct Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System for 4,700 Pound Dry Weight Trailer
  Spring bars that are rated up to 1,000 pounds might sound too high for a 4,700 pound trailer but you need to keep in mind that's the trailer's dry weight. A weight distribution system needs to be rated based on the trailer when it's loaded to work properly.

In addition, any weight behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle acts as tongue weight for a weight distribution system....

• How to Adjust Weight Rating of Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch
  Weight distribution hitches like the Fastway e2 # FA94-00-1061 are weight sensitive. You do not want to use one rated lower or higher than the actual tongue weight of the setup. An under-rated system will not be able to do its job of shifting trailer tongue weight forward as it should and an over-rated one will result in jumpy handling from the trailer. It is possible to swap out the spring bars in the hitch to have a different weight capacity. We have three sets of Fastway round bars...

• How to Find the Properly Rated Weight Distribution System
  What matters in regards to a weight distribution system is the tongue weight rating and not the GTW that you referenced.

• Interchangeability of Weight Distribution System Parts
  If the Fastway round bars just so happened to fit in a Reese (Draw-Tite) weight distribution head, it would be purely coincidental.

When Draw-Tite or Fastway states that a given system is rated for a specific tongue weight, it is because each component of the system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that they work together. Once one component is replaced with another part, you...
