Weight Distributing Hitch

Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.


Selecting a Weight Distribution System

The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.


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. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight distribution system.

  • Troubleshooting Surt Chain Hangers Not Having Room to Fit on Trailer Tongue
    Hey Robert, thanks for reaching out! The 10K Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # C17322 is going to have arms that sit closer to the coupler than pretty much every other weight distribution system on the market. With this setup the hangers are going to sit 30-5/8" out from the coupler (see attached photo). If the problem is that you don't have enough space on top of your frame for the clamps, then I recommend looking into the Curt Chain Hangers # C17005 which...

  • Choosing Correct Curt Weight Distribution System for Trailer with GVWR of 6,243 Pounds
    You upgraded your weight distribution from the Curt short-arm system, part # C17322, to the Curt TruTrack, part # C17500, which is much better system but it's still rated too high most likely. It all depends on the loaded trailer's tongue weight. Both of those systems are rated for 800 to 1,000 pounds of tongue weight. So you want the tongue weight of your loaded trailer added to the amount of weight you add behind the rear axle of your two vehicle to be between 800 and 1,000 pounds....

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2023 Ember Overland Series 201FBQ Travel Trailer
    I have a weight distribution system that will work with your 2023 Ember Overland Series 201FBQ travel trailer but there is not going to be enough room on your coupler for the B&W Continuum item # BW28FR. That jack is directly in the way. It looks like your trailer tops out right around 6,500 lbs. This would put your tongue weight somewhere between 650 lbs and 975 lbs. For this I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System item # C17322. This system has shorter spring bars...

  • Using Curt Short Arm Weight Distribution System on V-Nose Trailer
    With Curt Short Arm weight distribution systems like the part # C17322 that you referenced the distance from the center of the hitch ball to the far edge of the chain hanger will be 30-5/8 inches. A lot of times the best solution for V-nose trailers like yours is to use bolt on hangers like part # C17005 instead as this style does not require clearance above the frame channel so it fits right underneath the V-nose.

  • Can You Reverse with a Weight Distribution System Installed
    The warning for backing up weight distribution systems like the # C17322 that you referenced is because of the friction sway control system that is included. As long as you aren't jackknifing your trailer when you are backing up you should be fine. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to do that you will want to remove the spring bars and the friction sway control (if you have one) and then you would be fine to back the trailer up. It's not so much the reversing of the...

  • Do Spring Bars of Curt Weight Distribution System C17323 Remove When Uninstalling
    The spring bars of the Curt weight distribution system part # C17322 do remove when you uninstall the system. You'd lower the bars first and then you'd pull the pins out of the trunnions and slide the bars out.

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Bar for 24 Foot Enclosed Trailer with Limited Tongue Length
    For your short tongue on your new trailer, I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution systems with sway Control. This will give you the friction sway bar that will help control sway, but will need to be disconnected prior to backing up. I've attached an article to assist. If the hanger locations won't allow the brackets, you can use the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # C17005 as the hangers.

  • Adjusting Weight Distribution System to Apply More Tongue Weight to Front Tow Vehicle Axle
    To determine if you have the correct system for your trailer tongue weight, you should determine the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer. The weight of any gear stowed behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle also needs to be considered as tongue weight. I have linked you to an FAQ article that shows a few ways to determine the tongue weight. You will need to ensure that the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer does not exceed the 1,000 lb maximum...

    Yes, we do have a set of mounting brackets that do not go over the top of your tongue for chain style weight distribution systems. It is the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems item # C17005. These hangers mount directly to your tongue with included bolts. Since your trailer has a v-nose front, I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System item # C17322. This system has shorter arms to accommodate your v-nose tongue. This system has an 800 lbs to 1,000 lbs tongue...

  • Can A Weight Distribution System be Left Installed When Backing Up a Trailer
    Basically with any weight distribution system/sway control you can back a trailer up with it installed IF you only plan to back up mainly in a straight line. If the trailer has to be jackknifed at all then you have to disconnect the setup. The rule of thumb I use for how tight of a turn you can go is basically how tight of an angle can your trailer be at moving forward with the steering wheel all the way turned.

  • Setting Up Weight Distribution When Transferring from a 1/2 Ton Truck to a 2009 3/4 Ton Silverado
    It sounds as if your new 3/4 ton truck has might be a bit taller and the suspension is stiffer so the tongue weight of your trailer is not affecting the truck suspension nearly as much. In this case, I would recommend adjusting the height of your weight distribution head mount so that the when the trailer is coupled the trailer frame will be towed as level as possible. To adjust the ball mount, park the trailer on fairly level ground and measure from the ground up to the top of the coupler....

  • Can a 2 inch Trailer Ball be Used on the Weight Distribution System Instead of the 2-5/16
    I have confirmed with my technical contact at Pro Series and the Weight Distribution system that you referenced, the # C17322, can be used with a 2 inch trailer ball. This assembly comes equipped with a 2-5/16 inch trailer ball that is 2-1/2 long, and has a 1-1/4 inch shank diameter. It is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 pounds if only the ball mount head assembly is used, but rated for 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight when using the entire weight distribution system....

  • Is a 1,000 Pound Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System Good for an 8,251 Pound Trailer
    Curt systems are very popular and do work well. It is a good system. What you need to be concerned with on any weight distribution system is to get one that has the proper tongue weight capacity. For weight distribution you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If you add it up and you are under the 1,000 pound tongue weight capacity of # C17322 then you are good to go....

  • Adding a Second Sway Control Arm to Pro Series Weight Distribution System
    All you would need to add a second sway control arm to Curt weight distribution system # C17322 is friction sway control kit # 83660 or # 17200. These bars do not have a left and right, you just have to take out the inside, turn it over, and put it back in. Then flip the whole assembly over. You can flip the plate, handle, and nut around too. Its pretty self-explanatory once you have it in your hands.

  • Does Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System Allow Back Up?
    When you need to back up the trailer, with the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System # C17322, you will need to switch the sway control lever to the off position. Then pull two clips, remove the friction sway control bar, and now you are ready to back up. Curt does not recommend backing up with this system because there is a chance that this weight distribution system could bind up and get damaged. If backing up is still a concern, we have the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System...

  • Weight Distribution for a 10,000 Pound Trailer and 2004 Ford F-350 Diesel
    When calculating tongue weight to choose a weight distribution system you also have to add in the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. So the minimum weight of the trailer is around 5,000 pounds and 10,000 pounds is the gross weight. At 10 to 15 percent that puts the range at 500 to 1,500 pounds. That is a big range. But it is probably not likely that you will be at 1,500 pounds tongue weight (correct me if I am wrong). So we can look at some other systems. The...

  • Can a Trailer with the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322 Installed be Reversed
    As long as you aren't making tight turns with the trailer you can back up with the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322. If you end up in a situation where the trailer is going to be at a sharp angle in relation to the tow vehicle then I would recommend you disconnect the spring bars and friction sway control bar to prevent damage. The friction sway bar is the most restricting component and that is why the warning for backing up with the hitch is there.

  • Curt Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 30 ft Airstream Trailer
    The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow, this figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. If when your setup is loaded and ready to tow the tongue weight is below 1,000 lbs then yes, the # C17322 would be an excellent choice for you. But until you get an exact figure...

    When picking out a weight distribution system you want to come as close as possible to the middle of the effective tongue weight range as possible.

  • Recommendation for Weight Distribution on 2009 Chevy Trailblazer Towing Jayco 4,600-Lb Trailer
    Since the towing capacity of your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is 5,200 lbs and you are towing a 4,600-lb dry weight trailer, you will want to be careful and not overload the trailer with extra cargo that might put you over the 5,200-lb limit. Also, when loading the trailer make sure to load 60 percent of the cargo closer to the front (tongue) of the trailer. This will also help with sway control of the trailer. For your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4WD towing a 5,200-lb trailer the tongue...

  • 6000 lb Travel Trailer Towed By 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is Still Swaying Using Friction Sway Control
    As a first step, you can check the tension control on the friction sway unit. If it is not already adjusted to maximum, try increasing the tension to see if that helps the situation improve. Increasing the tongue weight of the trailer is usually the best way to combat trailer sway. If possible, redistribute some of the gear in your travel trailer so that it is as far forward of the axles as possible. Keep in mind that increasing the amount of tongue weight might require you to readjust...

    Just a few things to note about Weight Distribution (WD) systems. You will want to make sure that you pick a system that has a weight range that your Total Tongue Weight (TTW) falls in the middle of. Total Tongue Weight is the Tongue Weight (TW) of your loaded and ready-to-go trailer, plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2014 GMC Sierra. Once you know what your TTW is, then you can make sure to pick out an appropriate WD system. Also, the TW of any trailer should...
