• Pole Tongue Adapter for Boat Trailer so that Weight Distribution Can Be Used
  
• The adapter that you would need would be the pole tongue adapter part # RP58393 to be able to use a weight distribution system with your setup. Since your vehicle requires the use of a WD system to tow a trailer as heavy as yours the only option I can make for you would be to relocate the items on your trailer frame that are currently in the way as they do not make longer spring bar weight distribution systems. They are all right at 30 inches in length.

• Helper Springs or Weight Distribution for a 1999 Ford Expedition that Sags with Boat Trailer Coupled

Also due to the fact that they do apply additional stress on the tongue of the trailer like you said and this can be particularly harmful to aluminum frame trailers. There are...
