Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the Replacement Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems
Today, we're going to be taking a look at the replacement hook-up brackets for the Curt Weight Distribution Systems. These brackets feature a really nice low-profile design. That way they don't interfere with frame-mounted items, such as gas tanks, toolboxes, generators, and battery boxes. These brackets are made from a durable steel construction, and they feature a black powder-coated finish to help them resist rust and corrosion and last a long time. Again, these are for Curt Weight Distribution Systems. The following part numbers are the brackets that these are going to work with: C17007, 17300, 17301, 17302, C17330, C17331, and C17332. When it comes to the size of frame that these are going to fit, we can tell that by taking a measurement right here.
This is the portion that fits onto the trailer frame. If we measure that opening, we can see that that's going to measure up to 2 3/4 of an inch. These are going to fit frames that have a width up to 2 3/4 of an inch wide. They're going to take up around 4 inches along the trailer frame. This part number is going to come with your two hook-up brackets. It's going to come with two different sets of bolts, and it's going to come with these clips right here.
These clips are what hold the brackets into the up position. You can lower these to hook up to the chain, and then use your leverage bar to get these in the up position. Then secure them in place by taking this clip and feeding it through. That's going to hold it into the up or towing position. Again, it does come with two different length bolts. You can use these longer bolts for narrower trailer frames.
They thread in there, and they pinch this bracket along the trailer frame. These are going to measure 4" long from the bottom of the bolt head to the end of the threaded portion. Then you can use the shorter bolts for thicker trailer frames. These are going to measure 2" long from the bottom of the bolt head to the end of the threaded portion. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement hook-up brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems.

Heavy duty and fit very well.
I was surprised that it did not have a mount for the trailer wiring plug, as that is where the OEM chose to put it. If not for that I would have given 5 stars all day based on the build quality and fit.

Worked great, had to modify to fit my application ( cut top and welded on ) the reason being is I moved my jack back so tailgate would clear when open.

I've used these before on other trailers. They are as good or better than any other "generic" hook-up brackets for a chain type weight distribution system. Of equal importance is the price is considerably lower than anything else I've found. They are shaped to fit a wide variety of trailer A-Frames of different widths and heights. Although they are designed to rest on the trailer frame and tightened with an included bolt, I always take them to a welder and have them permanently attached to the frame. This precludes losing them, forgetting them, having them stolen, etc.

I ordered these for another trailer that I own so as to not have to buy a whole new kit that would cost well over $200. SO this saved me money up front. Next it was delivered much faster then expected. The product is built heavy to last and hold the weight intended providing more safety at highway speeds. I would recommend this product and etrailer they are awesome!

Still going strong, love this product. Pro tip keep the cotter pins hanging from the bracket bolts when not in use so you don't lose em. Also make sure you understand the bolt that holds the brackets on does not get torqued, you will bend your frame! Just snug per instructions.

Great experience! I contacted etrailer help desk, instant reply to my question. I ordered a complete hitch with extra parts, it came the second day! Amazing service. If you are looking for anything to do with any of the products they sell, you will not find better service anywhere, and with free shipping, I doubt if you will find a better price.

I've ordered this set of Curt Hookup Brackets before for my current trailer and was so pleased that I just purchased another set for a trailer I have on order. I always have my brackets welded-on, therefore, I need new brackets when I trade trailers. When I have a choice, I prefer Curt products because the quality is excellent and the cost is always very competitive.

- Replacement Hook Up Brackets for a 48069 Eaz Lift Weight Distribution HitchHey Wallace, thanks for the part number. To attach your 48069 Eaz Lift Weight Distribution Hitch to your trailer's frame, I recommend the Replacement Hook Up Brackets item # C17208. These are designed for Curt systems but they will work just as well with your Eaz Lift 48069. Your spring bars chains will connect directly to it. The Curt item # C17208 fits trailer frames up to 2-3/4" wide so I recommend verifying your frame isn't larger than that. What kind of trailer do you have? You...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Snap Up Replacement Brackets For Weight Distribution SystemSnap up brackets are somewhat interchangeable within their family branding. For example, the current Replacement Lift Bracket, Item # RP21501, works with the Reese family of weight distribution systems which includes Reese, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, or Pro Series. The difference between all the snap up brackets involves how heavy duty they are and what weight distribution systems they work with. The Curt Replacement Hook Up Brackets, Item # C17208, are designed for Curt weight distribution...

- Replacement Snap-Up Brackets For a Pro Series Weight Distribution SystemWhile snap up brackets like the Replacement Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems # C17208 are somewhat interchangeable, I would still recommend using like branded brackets. The Pro Series weight distribution hitches are manufactured by the same company as the Reese weight distribution systems. I recommend going with the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # 58392 if your weight distribution system has a tongue weight capacity of...
view full answer... - Can Curt Weight Distribution Brackets be Used with Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution SystemsThe Curt weight distribution brackets # C17208 are chain hanging brackets like in system # C17057. The Equal-I-zer systems do not use chains. So if additional brackets are needed you would need to use the Equal-I-zer brackets # EQ95-01-5600. If you are talking about the similar bracket set # C17508 then I cannot say that they and the Equal-I-Zer spring bars are compatible because they are not tested together making compatibility and capacity unknown. The other issue is that on the Curt...
view full answer... - Replacement Curt Weight Distribution Chain Lift BracketsThe frame-mount lift brackets from a Curt weight distribution system are not weight rated so one kit works for all chain-type systems. For replacement chain hangers use part # C17208 that you referenced. We also offer bolt-on hanger kit # C17005 which is helpful when the trailer frame dimensions do not allow using the clamp on kit # C17208. These require drilling for installation and the hardware to mount them is included. The photo included for you shows how these bolt on.

view full answer... - Replacement Hook Up Brackets For Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway ControlI reached out to my contact at Curt and the Replacement Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems # C17208 is the correct brackets you will need to install on your new trailer to use your Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control # C17062. The Curt # C17208 includes all of the hardware required to install the brackets, and is designed to fit trailers with frames measuring up to 2-3/4" wide.

view full answer... - Will Curt Replacement Hook Up Brackets # C17208 Fit a Trailer Frame that is 2 Inches WideYes, the Curt Replacement Hook Up Brackets, # C17208, will fit your trailer frame which measures right at 2 inches. These brackets are designed to fit trailer frames up to 2-3/4 inches wide. Although the Curt brackets, # C17208, will fit on your trailer frame and more than likely work with your Husky round bar weight distribution system, I can not make any guaranties since Curt does not test their products on systems from other manufacturers. As for the Curt Friction Style Sway Control,...

view full answer... - Can Curt Snap-Up Brackets Be Used for Pro Series Weight Distribution Hitch You could indeed use Curt snap-up brackets like # C17208, as long as the links of your chain will slip over the studs, the brand you use isn't too terribly important.
view full answer... - Do the Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems Provide Sway ControlThe Replacement Hook Up Brackets # C17208 do not act as sway control. These are for use with just the chain systems like part # C17332 or # C17057 which require a friction sway control like # 17200 if you want sway control added. This friction sway control is effective but a little outdated and can be frustrating because you have to disengage it to back your trailer up. For a system that does have integrated sway control and chain hangers you can use the Blue Ox SwayPro like part # BXW0753...
view full answer... - Can Blue Ox Brackets be Used on a Curt Weight Distribution SystemThe only component that can safely be mixed and matched on weight distribution (WD) systems is the shank. If you are using a Curt system then you need to use the Hook Up Brackets # C17208 and I do not recommend using Blue Ox Brackets # BXW4021 or # BXW4020.
view full answer... - Do Replacement Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems Work on Tube FrameYes, you can use the Replacement Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems # C17208 on your trailer with a tube frame; you only need to ensure that your square frame is no more than 2-3/4" wide.
