Anyone who’s towed a travel trailer knows that a balanced, level ride makes all the difference. The Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control spreads the load evenly across the axles of both your tow vehicle and trailer for a smoother, more stable haul. With a tongue weight range of 800 lbs – 1,000 lbs and a 10,000 lb maximum gross towing weight, it’s built to keep everything level and controlled mile after mile. The solid forged-steel trunnion spring bars (28-3/8") apply consistent leverage to balance the load, giving you better control and confidence on the highway.
Strong winds and passing semis can make towing tense. This setup includes a friction sway control bar that dampens trailer movement caused by curving roads, gusts, or sudden maneuvers. Its adjustable tension lets you fine-tune the resistance so you can choose the exact level of stability you want. The integrated handle makes it simple to engage or disengage the friction bar, and if you need to reverse, two quick-release pins let you remove it in seconds.
Getting the right tilt and tension shouldn’t be a guessing game. This system uses Curt’s traditional washer-based head adjustment, so you can add or remove washers on the spacer rivet to set the perfect tilt. Fine-tune your spring-bar tension by switching links in the lift chains. The included snap-up lever reduces the lifting strain during setup, making hookups easier even when working solo.
Every piece of this system is built tough—from the powder-coated steel head and shank that resist corrosion to the pre-torqued 2-5/16" hitch ball with 1-1/4" diameter shank. The 12" shank offers up to 7-3/4" of rise or 1/2" of drop for flexible trailer alignment. With all hardware included—head assembly, adjustable shank, sway control bar, spring bars, lift brackets, chains, handle, pin, and clip—you get a complete setup ready to install and go. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty, the Curt Short-Arm kit is a proven way to make towing smooth, level, and controlled from the first mile to the last.

works great!
I appreciate that the hitch was sent out within a few hours of it being ordered.
Great product came from great help
It does a awesome job pulling are 26 ft camper behind a half ton pickup
Works Great, excellent service
I ordered the wrong system and had to order longer bars, they worked perfectly.
have has this hitch for over a year now and have had zero issues. It is used exclusively to pull my 28 foot travel trailer. Heavy duty and easy to use.
Like your product, but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. This is the second one we bought and both were delivered in broken damaged boxes. Luckily all the parts were there. Thanks for the quick delivery.
Installed on 14,500 rated trailer pulled 1400 miles round trip no issues, no sway, truck and trailer leveled out for a smooth ride.
Easier to use then another brand. Only problem was that somehow I bent one of torsion bar retaining clips. Was afraid I would ruin it trying to straighten it out but didn't. I use a colored zip tie to mark the proper chain link to eliminate guessing.
I’ve used this hitch as and RV Transporter for a year now and this is a great weight distribution hitch at a great price!
Unfortunately, I have not been able to put my new towing system to use yet. However, the product was delivered very quickly, and shipping was free. Very satisfied with how easily the parts were to assemble. Great experience, so far, with etrailer.com
I have a 2016 F150 4x4 that I leveled and I'm pulling a V-nose enclosed car trailer. The shank that came with the hitch won't allow me to level the trailer. So I ordered a 12 inch drop shank to allow me to level the trailer. I thought the one came with it would work . I will give further review once I receive the new shank.
Your torsion bar hitch and service were impecable. The people at Husky Cargo trailer in Florida that built the car hauler should take lessons on how to build a trailer and treat paying customers.
My weight distribution hitch worked perfectly. It was very easy to install and the instructions made it simple to adjust for the weight I was pulling. The sway control that I received was great as well holding me steady on the highway, even with strong cross-winds. An impressive product that I would definitely recommend.
Happy with the product. Had the trailer company set up the hitch on my Tundra with out a hitch!!! Ha.
I had an L shaped weight distribution hitch before I bought this Curt model from E trailer.If you the coop ape the two the older one wS easier to operate. The Pins that lock the chain brackets in please are difficult to remove and adding wd40 does not help also this new one seems to be lower to the ground,, making me bend over and sometimes or even get to my knees to hook it up .My wife used to be able to help me with the older one the new one she is not able so I do both sides myself . Also the part that connects to the truck you need to hold it sideways then flip the the release up and maneuver it he top 2 tabs into place , lot more work than the L shaped one I had. It’s ok otherwise.
I use this to pull a camper and it works great. etrailer has been great to order from and they have very good products. I have ordered several items since i ordered this hitch from them. Give them a chance, they will do you right.
