Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Steady in Crosswinds: Built-In 2-Point Sway Control

Wind gusts and passing trucks can make towing stressful, especially when the trailer starts to wander. The Blue Ox 2-Point uses built-in sway control to help keep everything lined up. Its L-brackets hold the spring bars tight against the trailer frame, creating steel-on-steel friction that resists unwanted side-to-side movement. The setup helps your trailer stay straight behind you instead of fishtailing on the highway.

Levels Out Your Ride: 12,000 lb GTW and 800 lb Tongue Weight Rating

A level rig makes towing smoother and safer. This system evenly distributes weight across the tow vehicle and trailer axles, helping you keep stable steering and braking when hauling heavy loads. With a gross towing weight of 12,000 lbs and an 800 lb tongue weight capacity, it’s dialed in for setups that fall in that 600–800 lb tongue weight sweet spot. The round spring bars flex just enough to smooth out bumps and keep things controlled.

Hook Up and Go: Pre-Installed 2-5/16" Hitch Ball and Complete Hardware

No need to piece things together. The Blue Ox 2-Point comes ready to use with the head assembly, 6-hole adjustable shank, pre-installed 2-5/16" hitch ball, spring bars, sway control L-brackets, and all necessary hardware. Since the hitch ball is already torqued to factory specs, you can skip an extra setup step and get on the road faster.

Back Into Tight Spots Without Disconnecting: No Friction Bar to Remove

Backing up at the campground or down a driveway doesn’t have to involve extra steps. Because this system’s sway control is built into the L-bracket design rather than a separate friction bar, you can reverse without removing anything. That makes it easier to park and maneuver in tight areas while keeping the trailer stable and connected.

Built Tough for Long-Term Use: Powder-Coated Steel Construction

This hitch is built to handle miles of towing. The heavy-duty steel components are powder coated for corrosion resistance, and the no-drill, clamp-on brackets adjust along the trailer frame for a solid fit. It’s a durable setup that stays secure, trip after trip, and includes a limited lifetime warranty for extra peace of mind.

  • Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2" Hitch & Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution
    We have a shank you can use with your Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution Hitch # BLU82XR (which is your BXW0873), but the TrackPro shanks like you asked about are a bit wider than standard. So what you can use is a more standard shank from Equal-i-zer: - Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 10" Rise/6" Drop # EQ90-02-4900 This has the correct size and hole spacing, and weight distribution shanks do not have to have the same manufacturer as the hitch to work together. You will...

  • Comparing Blue Ox 2-Point and Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution Systems for a FR Wolf Pup 17JG
    Generally speaking, it is not advisable to reverse a trailer when using a weight distribution system. The system won't blow up but if you reverse at too sharp an angle then you can damage the head so you have to do so in a pretty straight line or not at all. If you want to reverse at an angle you'll need to disengage the spring bars which is pretty simple. That said, the Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution Systems like part # C69JR and Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution Systems like part...

  • Comparing Blue Ox, Curt, and Fastway Weight Distribution for Starcraft Launch Hybrid
    When it comes to weight distribution, tongue weight is the most important factor. It looks like you are ahead of the game and accounted for that with each of these systems, great job. I would still recommend finding your actual tongue weight once your trailer is loaded up. You can use a tongue weight scale like the # e99044 or the bathroom scale method to find this. Starting with the Curt # C17051, I would definitely not recommend this over the Blue Ox or Fastway. As you pointed out, this...

  • Best Weight Distribution Hitch System For Travel Trailer Dry Weight of 5,250lbs Tongue Weight 587lbs
    The main difference between the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU47FR and the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU82XR is going to be the spring bar design. The round bar of the 2-Point is not a design that I like. The bar having the bend creates a weak point in the design, and will not be as stable as a trunnion bar like the TrackPro uses. Since it loads in from the bottom you will loose ground clearance at this point which I often see will...

  • Can Trailer with Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution Be Backed Up Without Removing Spring Bars
    Since the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU82XR doesn't have a friction sway control bar you can back up without removing the spring bars. With that being said, spring bars do limit the amount of turning clearance for a towing rig so you might end up having to remove the bars anyways just so you can maneuver your trailer properly.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch For Trailer With Surge Brakes & 600 lb to 700 lb Tongue Weight
    I appreciate all that info, and there is a weight distribution hitch that is compatible with surge brakes and is also rated correctly for your 600 lb to 700 lb tongue weight. For this, I recommend going with an option from Blue Ox: - Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 6-Hole Shank - 10K GTW, 800 TW # BLU82XR I really like the value of the # BLU82XR due to its combination of price and quality that Blue Ox is known for. It even has sway control and comes with everything...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation for Keystone Springdale with 530 lb Tongue Weight
    The best weight distribution for towing a Keystone Springdale with a tongue weight of 530 lbs is the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features best sway control at preventing sway before it starts. For a similar Blue Ox kit to the one that you referenced that would be the correct rating you'd want the part # BLU82XR which is rated for tongue weights between 500-800 lbs.

  • Will the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution System BLU82XR Work for 700 lb Tongue Weight
    Yes, when the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 6-Hole Shank - 10K GTW, 800 TW # BLU82XR gives a range of 600-800 pounds of tongue weight, you will be good to go if you have 700 pounds of tongue weight. Since your total tongue weight of your setup falls into the middle of the Blue Ox's range, this is an ideal system for you.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Lance Camper with GVWR of 7000 lb
    To pick out the best weight distribution you need at least a pretty close figure on what the tongue weight will be. The reason for this is if you go too low the system isn't effective and if you overshoot it you end up with a pretty rough ride quality. Which based on the description of your ride quality and fact you said the bars are huge I predict that this is what's going on with your setup. So the part # BLU82XR could work for you but it has a pretty narrow tongue weight range at 600-800...
