Video Transcript for Breaking Down the B and W Continuum Weight Distribution Load Bars
Hello neighbors and friends, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at B&W's Continuum weight distribution load bars for a standard coupler. So again folks, this is just the load bar and the rest of the components. You would need a head ball mount assembly that's sold separately and there's many different options so check them out [email protected] to ensure you're getting the right one for your specific trailer needs. Now this would replace the load bars for your BnB's weight distribution systems that use a standard coupler, and the tongue weight rating is 600 to 1600 pounds. Now when it's installed, it's gonna look something like this image.
I can't guarantee this is a hundred percent everything that you're gonna have on your specific system. And again, the ball mount head shank there is not included, so keep that in mind as well. But I wanted to give you an image of pretty much what the system more or less looks like installed on the trailer. Now that being said, everything in here is a nice hammered powder coat finish on the blue here, the black spring bars here are a spring steel and they just have a nice, elegant, smooth powder coat finish. All the brackets that you need that are coming with it, they're all like hammered powder coat finish as well.
Gives it a nice design and gives it just a little bit of texture there. You get all your mounting hardware obviously included and everything is very, very well made just like B&W always does, right Now I'll slide this over, this is your main push rod assembly here. This would come out over here whenever it's connected and then once you've got your fluid and everything in here, you could simply pump it up into, you get the pressure you need for what the weight that you're carrying. So initial setup, I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna take you a little bit of time to get everything set up exactly the way you need for your specific trailer. But again, once it's set up the first time, the next time it's as simple as, "Hey, I knew I was at, let's say 200 PSI, or whatever it is." You just simply pump it back up to the correct PSI and then you're on your way.
So very nice overall for a long term use. Very nice product. This again, is the B&W Continuum weight distribution load bars for standard couplers. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.

We have a 2021 Sierra 1500 2WD and our trailer weighs about 8800 pounds. It was very easy to install the hitch and to connect trailer and disconnect. This hitch performs better than the Andersen hitch we use to use. The one issue we have come across is the hitch sits low and it tends to drag sometimes when the road is uneven. We adjusted the hitch height but that made it difficult to disconnect the trailer. I wish the hitch performed better with sway control in windy situations.

WAY better than Curt's that does not uphold their guarantee and has awful service. I took this B&W through the Rockies a couple of time and on a 18,000 km road in the southern western USA last winter. This system performed great. I have not tested their warranty or service as I have not needed to as the product performs and hold great. WORTH the cost for sure. Pulling a 7,000 plus lbs Freedom Express 246RKS trailer with a 2016 Cayenne base .... I am close to the max of the car at times when loaded and water.... I have tested it in big hills, winds, winter conditions and big rig passing me ... great product.

See what our Experts say about this B and W Accessories and Parts
- Recommended Extended 2" Shank for the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution SystemWelcome back Daniel. From the hitch pin to the center of the hitch ball is 11-3/8" on the 2" shank included with the B&W Continuum item # BW78FR. If that isn't long enough to clear your Hummer's spare tire, we have the B&W Continuum WD Head Assembly item # BW82JR. This is an extended 2" shank that is 4" longer. So instead of 11-3/8" from the hitch pin hole to the hitch ball you'd have 14-3/8". You would then need to purchase the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Load Bars item # BW38FR....

view full answer... - Option For Replacing Cracked Carbon Fiber Spring Bar On B&W Continuum Weight DistributionHello Hampton, thanks for reaching out. This is the first time I have heard of the B&W Continuum spring bars cracking. Sounds like your jack foot is too large and needs to be trimmed or replaced. The Replacement part for this is the Replacement Load Bars # BW38FR for standard couplers or part # BW98FR for underslung couplers. If you are wanting just one of the carbon fiber spring bars this is not a replacement part we offer by itself. You might want to check with B&W to see if they can...
view full answer... - Does the B&W Continuum Work In the ColdLinton yes, the B&W Continuum # BW78FR will work in the cold weather.
view full answer... - Does B and W Continuum Weight Distribution System Have Sway ControlHey Ted, yes the B and W Continuum part # BW38FR does have sway control built into it. Since the mechanism is hydraulic pressure on the spring bars that works to keep trailer straight it also has advantage of not being super noisy like other systems. What trailer are you towing?
view full answer... - Selecting the Correct B&W Continuum Weight Distribution SystemTo select the correct B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System for your needs you will first need to determine if you have a standard coupler(mounts on top of trailer frame rails) or an underslung coupler(mounts on the bottom of the trailer frame rails). We have both types available with either a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver for your truck and they are all rated for a trailer with a tongue weight from 600-1,600lbs.

view full answer... - Does B&W Offer Heavier-Duty Load Bars For The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Hitch Hey Carson, B&W doesn't offer a heavier duty set of load bars for the B&W Continuum # BW78FR. What is your trailer's fully loaded tongue weight?
view full answer... - Availability of B&W Continuum Without Head for Multiple Trailer SetupsHey Mike! Yes, you can get the load bars without the head assembly so you can install them on multiple trailers. You need one of the following based on coupler type: -B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Load Bars - Standard Coupler # BW38FR -B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Load Bars - Underslung Coupler # BW98FR Then you can use whatever head like the standard # BW48FR for 2" receivers which will fit each of the load bar setups on the trailers.
