• What Does the Flip Up Part of the Curt Weight Distribution Head # C17307 Do?
  The Curt Replacement Weight Distribution Head for Trunnion Style Bars # C17307 is the only system like this that Curt has. Those are spring loaded clips that keep the trunnion bars in place. If you want a different style of trunnion bar head, Curt has moved more to the TruTrack version like # C17509, # C17507, or # C17506 depending on the weight capacity of your system. Most systems have another attachment method, so if your system doesn't have them, it is not an issue.

• Will The Curt C28KR Ball Platform Work With A Weight Distribution Shank C17132
  Hello Chris. The Curt # C28KR ball platform for the Rebellion XD will NOT fit on a # C17132 weight distribution shank. The channel isn't wide enough. The channel is about 1-1/2 inches wide, and the WD shank is 2" wide. The C28KR ball platform is only compatible with the Curt Rebellion XD ball mount, which is currently unavailable. If you want to use the # C17132 WD shank to tow, I suggest simply using the head unit and ball from your weight distribution hitch. If you need a new head unit,...

• Will The Curt Trunnion Bar C17337 Work With A Draw-Tite Brand WD Head?
  Hello Tom, thanks for reaching out. The Curt Replacement Trunnion Bar Kit # C17337 cannot be used with a Draw-Tite brand WD head. The only compatible head is the Curt part # C17307. Even though the Draw-Tite head may be similar, there is no guarantee of compatibility, so I do not recommend mixing and matching brands.

• Dimensions of Curt Replacement Trunnion Bar # 17303
  The bar length is 30-5/8 inches long. The knuckle is 4-7/16 inches with each nipple being 1 inch tall by 1 inch diameter with a slight taper. I've attached a photo to assist. Hitch heads and spring bars are not normally compatible between brands. My recommendation is to use the Curt Replacement Weight Distribution Head for Trunnion Style Bars # C17307 along with the Replacement Trunnion Bar for Curt Long Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System - 1,000 lbs TW # C17303 to ensure a proper...

• Spring Bar Tension is Higher on One Side of Trailer than Other Side with Curt Weight Distribution
  The tension on the spring bars fore any weight distribution system should be nearly identical (when sitting still on level ground with the trailer in a straight line behind the truck). The little bit of play making the shank off-level at the hitch is going to translate to anything else connected down the line to be off even more so that could have something to do with it. Curt does not specify a maximum or minimum amount of washers but if you are angling the head down to get the trailer...

• Replacement Spring Bar Retainer Clips for Curt Trunnion Bar Weight Distribution System
  I do have an option for you but the Curt Bolt Kit for Trunnion Style Weight Distribution Hitch part # C17350 does not come with the spring bar retainer clips that you are referring to. Unfortunately, these retainers clips are not sold separately as they are built into the head so if the head you have now does not have these or they were damaged then you would need to replace the entire head as well with the Curt Replacement Weight Distribution Head for Trunnion Style Bars part # C17307.

• How Can I Tell the Brand of My Weight Distribution Hitch Head
  Usually there is a sticker under the ball platform part of a weight distribution head with information on it but on yours I do not see that. It looks like a Curt head though an older one, similar to what is on the discontinued number 17300. Although there have been some Equal-I-Zer brand systems that look almost identical.

• Curt Weight Distribution Trunnion Bar Compatibility with Head Assembly C17307
  Weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) spring bars can often be changed out for new bars with a different weight capacity but it is never a good idea to mix components from different systems or manufacturers as they aren't designed to be compatible at all. With the Curt trunnion style head assembly # C17307 you could use a spring bar like # C17308 for trailer tongue weight (TW) up to 800-lbs. Please feel free to let me know your trailer TW.
