As an alternative to traditional lift brackets, these bolt-on chain hangers provide an attachment point for your weight-distribution spring bars without interfering with trailer-frame-mounted items.Well made and the installation instructions were complete.
This is the second time I have ordered from them and wow shipping was increadible
Product was easy to install and instructions were very easy to follow.
Product worked great. Etrailers shipped it quick and had great communication through the entire order and shipping process.
They mount easily and work as intended. With a V-nose trailer there is no way I would have been able to use the WD hitch without bolt on chain hangers. These enabled me to hang the chains further behind the V-nose on the frame. I just wish these had been included in a WD hitch package intended specifically for trailers without sufficient free space over the frame.
These are a must for V nose trailers if your using a weight distribution hitch. Over the tongue saddle types won't fit because of the nose section over hang. Kit comes with everything for mounting and easy to follow instructions.
This is the only choice for a V-nose trailer. I must say more importantly than the product because it is Reese so it is good but etrailer is a great and easy place to do business with and I am in a crunch and need to get this on the road they get your product to you super fast. Excellent Service Thank you etrailer!
These were a great solution to my issue. My trailers's propane tank, battery box, and winch prevented me from using the mounts that came with my weight distribution hitch. Installation was straightforward and only took about a half an hour. These chain hangers are easy to use too! Very happy eTrailer customer (again!).
I couldn't fit my Weight Distribution Hitch on the used trailer I recently purchased because of the nice tool box that was mounted on the V Tongue of the Trailer. With the tool box I couldn't pull over the chain attach brackets. Called E-Trailer and Kathy recommended the Chain Hangers PN: RP58305. They were an easy install and were exactly what I needed. The Service and shipping from E-Trailer was Excellent.
This product worked great for me. I had mounted a small generator on the front not making the regular flip chain connectors work. The best way to use this product is with a electric tongue jack. Connect the hitch raise the back of the truck to connect the chains then lower to put the tension on the bars. Easy as pie just make sure if you are buying a jack to get a higher rated one. Highly recommended

Still working like a champ.
The chain hangers for my new trailer appear to be great quality. They solved the problem for connecting the Reese load levelers on a pointed front enclosed trailer, which has a very short tongue.

The Reese chain hangers have worked Great! Makes towing a joy!
This hook operates as expected. No issues installing if what you're installing it to is appropriate. Comes with long and short screws, so it works on hollow beams and C channel frame members at the front of your trailer. Can't comment on the durability of the finish, as I keep installing these on rental campers and never see them again! Well, we all know Reese and the hitch industry overall has significant corrosion issues they just seem to ignore over the decades - their process isn't up to par in my book. That said, the finish seems thick enough and the steel is so thick that rust in this case will be only an optical issue. I like the fact that they are delivered with nylock nuts. I spray the drilled holes (both sides) with aerosol grease before a bolt everything up, to prevent rust on the frame once THAT finish is broken open. Then I hit the fasteners too, to prevent rust. I'm a repeat purchaser, and from experience believe strongly in weight distribution hitches even on small travel trailers, it's just SO much more stable.
The parts I ordered were a great fit for my V nose trailer. After I installed all the pieces I was able to use my load level hitch without having to cut or modify my trailer . The customer service rep. was very helpful in selecting the correct part for my application. Thanks Paul L.
The product was well priced and delivery was very fast (3 days)
I was unable to find any other product anywhere that would work for my setup. Every trailer store I contacted had no idea where to direct me as they knew of no product on the market that would work.
I have a V-Cross 32FKDS. Because of the V nose I am unable to use the traditional load level system. the V extends all the way to the trailer jack.
I bought the trailer new and had it delivered to a seasonal lot in 2010 where it has remained. We are looking at moving to a different campground and delivery was $250-$350. For the price this seemed well worth a try.
I am hoping once this product is installed it will keep the trailer and my 3/4 ton level for towing.
This sway system is the best I have ever used. I pulled a 16ft cargo trailer through the mountains with a Sierra 1500. The rig stayed very stabile and I had zero issue with sway.
Very easy hook-up, no problems with unit. Balances trailer weight wonderfully. Smooth, even when turning. Also dampens sway of trailer.
Solved my issue with an old Reese hitch and no room for over the top of frame brackets.
Was pleased to find the bolt on hitch brackets at etrailer. Finally a solution to the problem of adapting my equalizer hitch to two different trailers. Install looks to be straightforward.
seems to be a quick fix for my situation, I ordered weight distribution system but was not aware that my v-nosed trailer would be a issue with brackets that came with kit
Product was well made and installed in a matter of minutes to allow the use of a weight distrubution hitch on a V nose travel trailer.
Great service and product.Worked like a charm on our 20' open car trailer with toolbox.Thanks !
Out standing product. A a great company to deal with as well. I highly recommend etrailer.com
It was shipped in a timely manor. The product seems to be built well and should last a very long time. The instructions where clear once you studied the pieces and gained a understanding of how the product works.I will be using it to cross the country from Washington to Pennsylvania. I hope it works as advertised
This product will not fit up with a Curt Weight DIstribution System with Shank - Trunnion Bar (#c17345).
It's hook will not accept the chain. It is too big.
Fast Shipping, just wrong part suggested by etrailer expert.
These worked great. I have a rig with a funky battery tray configuration that the spring bar chains kept getting snagged on and snapping the U bolts when using traditional hangers. These solved the problem!
