Video Transcript for Review of BulletProof Hitches Weight Distribution Hitch - WD System With Sway Control - BPH46VR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Bulletproof Hitches Weight Distribution System with Swipe Control. Now this weight distribution system is going to give you a more stable ride for your tow vehicle and your trailer. Adding spring bars to your towing system is going to apply leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all of the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer. That's gonna result in an even distribution of the weight throughout and then that's going to give you a more smooth level ride as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.

So this is rated with a tongue weight from 800 to 1400 pounds with a maximum gross towing weight of 14,000 pounds. Now as you probably know, the tongue weight rating is going to be the most important factor in determining which size of weight distribution system you should use. So if the bars of your system that you choose are rated too high for your setup, that's going to create a more rigid ride, which can result in like a bouncing trailer. If on the other hand the bars are not rated high enough, then the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless. So to determine the proper weight rating for a weight distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight.

Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Those two measurements are gonna make up the tongue weight rating for a weight distribution system. Now this system does feature an integrated two points weight control that's going to limit the side to side movement of your trailer. The brackets are going to keep these forged steel spring bars in place for a rigid system that's gonna hold your trailer in line. The steel on steel friction is going to help minimize sway that's caused by winds or sudden maneuvers.

And this system does not have lift chains, so that's gonna eliminate unwanted movement of your spring bars. These are going to be no drill clamp on brackets, they're gonna mount directly to your trailer's frame. And these are going to fit, this system's gonna fit trailer hitch receivers rated for use with weight distribution systems. Now the sway control bracket positioning should be a minimum of four inches in from the end of the spring bar. And the maximum trailer frame dimensions that this is gonna work with, it's gonna be from three to six inches.

This does feature Bulletproof Hitches' matte, this textured powder coat finish. So that's going to do a great job of resisting rust and corrosion. It's a great looking finish that Bulletproof Hitches has on most all of their products, so it holds up well and it's going to look great. So you're gonna get everything that you see here that's on my table. You're going to get the head assembly with the two and five 16th inch ball. Obviously the spring bars, the sway control brackets that we've been talking about. And then you're also going to get this spring bar lift tool that's going to help you lift the spring bars into place. So that is included, along with the pins and the clips that you need and all the necessary hardware. I don't think I said this at the beginning of our time together, but I just kind of loosely assembled everything. So you have a good idea of how this is going to be set up. Should be a relatively easy install. Obviously this does not include the adjustable shank, so if you don't have a one that's going to work with this, then that's something you would have to pick up as well. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this system or anything else that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
