Weight Distribution Diagram

Create a more 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.


Forged Steel Spring Bars

The round spring bars are made from forged steel, giving them a distinct advantage over typical cast steel bars. Forging is a process where thermal and mechanical energy are applied to the steel, resulting in a finished product that is more resilient to impacts and is stronger in terms of shear strength. Simply put, these spring bars do a superior job of helping to hold your trailer in line because of their added strength and durability.


Built-In Grease Zerks

Built-in grease zerk on the Curt weight distribution system head assembly

The system's head features 2 built-in grease zerks so that you can easily lubricate the spring bars without having to remove them from the head assembly. The grease zerks are located on each of the shafts that encase the spring bars. Simply use a grease gun (sold separately) to inject grease into each of the zerks.

  • Curt Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Colorado Towing Enclosed 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 a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. The Curt part # C17057 that you referenced...

  • Can Curt Spring Bars Work With A EAZ-Lift Weight Distribution System?
    The Replacement Spring Bar for Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17074 you referenced will not work with your EAZ-Lift 1,000-lb Weight Distribution System. Neither manufacturer will confirm if their parts are interchangeable with that of a competitor. The only solution I can offer is to replace the entire system with the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17057, which is compatible with the Replacement Spring Bar # C17074 mentioned above. This weight distribution system has a...

  • Bolt Size of Replacement Bolt Kit for Curt MV Weight Distribution Systems
    Sure thing - the Replacement Bolt Kit for Curt MV Weight Distribution Systems # C17076 uses 3/4" - 10 x 4 1/2" long hex bolts. According to the linked instructions, they will be tightened to 200 ft lbs. This replacement bolt kit is used to attach the head to the shank. Here are the systems that the Replacement Bolt Kit # C17076 works with: - Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # C17050 - Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 8,000 lbs GTW,...

  • Weight Distribution System and Pole-Tongue Adapter Recommendation for 9,500 lb Boat Trailer
    For your application I recommend going with the Curt MV Weight Distribution (WD) # C17057 instead of the Curt # 17302 because the part you mentioned is only rated for up to 1,000 lbs tongue weight while the MV I recommended is rated for 1,000 lbs - 1,400 lbs tongue weight. Since you take into account the loaded tongue weight of the trailer with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your Chevy Silverado this would be a much more safe option. In my experience boat trailers tend...

  • Best Weight Distribution System for C-Channel Trailer Frames
    The Curt MV Weight Distribution System part # C17057 is not ideal for c-channel trailer frames. You could still use this system on your trailer but you would want to weld steel places on the frame rails where the frame brackets of the Curt MV sit. A better option for you would be to use a system that clamps around both sides of the frame like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37140ET. The Equal-i-zer system works with trailers that have a total tongue weight (TTW) between...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 6700 lb Trailer
    A fully loaded trailer weighing 6700 lbs would have a tongue weight that ranges between 600-1000 lbs, so you'd want to choose a system that's rated to cover that possible range. A typical chain-suspended unit like the Curt # C17057 MV weight distribution system would work fine for a utility trailer that's non enclosed, but if it's an enclosed cargo trailer or a travel trailer, you'll really want to do yourself a favor and choose a system with an integrated sway control component.

  • Will Curt Round Bars Fit Onto A Pro Series WDS?
    Unfortunately, the Replacement Spring Bar for Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17074 are not going to work with your Pro Series WDS. This is because the head on the two systems are different, therefore the bars wouldn't fit into the head. Also with your system being discontinued, the best option I can offer you is to replace your entire system. Since you're already looking at the Replacement Spring Bar for Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17074 I'd recommend upgrading to the...

    The length of the spring bars on the Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW # C17057 is 30-5/8 inches. These are the same bars, # C17074. We do not have this weight distribution system available without the shank.

  • Is Curt MV Weight Distribution Comparable to Harbor Freight WD System
    The Curt MV weight distribution part # C17057 would be a great example of a weight distribution similar to the one you found in design and in cost but that is a higher quality. My brother actually has the Harbor Freight WD system and while it has so far not failed I wasn't overly impressed with the build quality. This system is rated for 1,000-1,400 lb tongue weight. For lighter MV models we have the part # C17052 which is rated for 800-1,000, the # C17050 which is rated for 500 lbs...

  • Can Curt Weight Distribution Brackets be Used with Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution Systems
    The Curt weight distribution brackets # C17208 are chain hanging brackets like in system # C17057. The Equal-I-zer systems do not use chains. So if additional brackets are needed you would need to use the Equal-I-zer brackets # EQ95-01-5600. If you are talking about the similar bracket set # C17508 then I cannot say that they and the Equal-I-Zer spring bars are compatible because they are not tested together making compatibility and capacity unknown. The other issue is that on the Curt...

  • Weight Distribution Setup for Trailer With Pole Tongue and Heavier Tongue Weight
    We can only recommend Reese weight distribution systems for use with their pole tongue adapters, and based on the weight range of the # C17057 and the picture you sent in you'd want the higher rated pole tongue adapter part # RP58393 which is rated for up 1,400 lbs tongue weight. Then for a weight distribution system you'd want the # RP66131 which has a tongue weight range of 800 to 1,500 lbs. For a hitch ball you'd want the part # C40030 and for a shank part # RP63971 and you'd be set. Curt...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution for 3700 lb Fleetwood Niagara Pop-Up Camper
    With a weight distribution system, you want to choose a system based on the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer. I'll link you to a help article that explains how to determine your fully loaded tongue weight, but since you've provided the GVWR (thanks for that, by the way!) we can make a pretty darn accurate educated guess. With a GVWR of 3700 lbs, the tongue weight of your pop-up will range from 370 lbs on the low side to as much as 550 lbs. Both the Curt # C17057...

  • Rear End of 2011 Ford F-150 Still Sags Even with Weight Distribution
    The problem that you are experiencing is a common issue with 1/2 ton trucks like your 2011 Ford F-150. The rear suspension on 1/2 ton trucks will still allow some sag even when using weight distribution. While making some adjustments to the set up of the weight distribution system might help ultimately you will likely need some rear helper springs to eliminate the sag. The helper springs don't have to be air bags. You could use Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Item # TFR1504D...

  • Parts Needed to Tow and Use Camper For 2019 Ram 3500 Mega Cab Short Bed With Factory Hitch
    Okay, so there's a lot to get to here, starting with the fact that since you need an extension, you will also need to add a TorkLift hitch and weight distribution system. The reason for that is, standard extenders don't have the capacity needed for you to tow, but you can do this if you add the TorkLift hitch and extenders. The only thing I can't tell you is the length you need as that's something you'll have to measure for. But there are a variety of lengths available. For your 2019 Ram...

    The inside width of the frame channels of the Curt Hangers part # C17057 that you referenced are 3-3/16 inches. The distance from the center of the hitch ball to the center of the frame hanger will be 31 inches. If either of the two dimensions I listed would pose a problem for installing the # C17057 on your trailer you have the option of using the bolt on brackets part # C17005 which will bolt to the side of the trailer frame. This will get around the problem of a trailer frame being...

  • Weight Distribution Systems for Travel Trailers with Nissan Armada
    You are correct that weigh distribution systems can be used to help distribute a trailer's tongue weight across the tow vehicle to let the trailer sit more level and improve braking and handling. Your vehicle might have an increased tongue weight capacity listed by the manufacturer for when a weight distribution system is installed, but a weight distribution system won't inherently increase the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle. With that being said, the Nissan Armada you are looking...

  • Recommended Short Arm Weight Distribution Hitch for Trailer with 1400-lbs of Tongue Weight
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt MV # C17057 that you've currently got won't accept the new components you're wanting to turn your system into a short arm weight distribution hitch. For this reason, you'll need to get a completely new weight distribution hitch. The shortest weight distribution system we have is the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 15K GTW, 1.5K TW # C17422, which has 28" long arms and is similarly rated to your # C17057....

The 1,126 pound tongue weight of said toy hauler will not be an issue at all and I have 3 options listed below. The first one will be a budget option, the second will be a mid range option, and the third one will be a top of the line option. First, the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17057 will have a weight range of 1,000 pounds at the minimum and 1,400 pounds at the max. This will work...

  • Difference Between the Curt Weight Distribution Systems C17007 and C17057
    I checked with Curt and there isn't a difference between the Curt Weight Distribution systems part # C17007 and # C17057 that you referenced. Either part number will be for the same system. It's hard to say exactly what angle will cause problems for a WD when backing up, so the best recommendation I can make would be that if the trailer is being backed up mainly in a straight line you would be fine. But otherwise, I would recommend removing the spring bars.

  • Are Oblong Holes Okay on Weight Distribution System Part 54970
    The oblong holes are a no go, the spring bars will eventually fall out of the socket and the system would be completely ineffective as well as a danger to those around you. Also, if you are loading your trailer to the max then the system you have now is actually a bit underrated as it's only rated for up to 12,000 lbs and the trailer has a GVWR of 12,920 lbs. I recommend replacing with the Curt MV Weight Distribution System part # C17057 which is a great budget option that gives you a bit...

  • Do the Hook Up Brackets for Curt Weight Distribution Systems Provide Sway Control
    The Replacement Hook Up Brackets # C17208 do not act as sway control. These are for use with just the chain systems like part # C17332 or # C17057 which require a friction sway control like # 17200 if you want sway control added. This friction sway control is effective but a little outdated and can be frustrating because you have to disengage it to back your trailer up. For a system that does have integrated sway control and chain hangers you can use the Blue Ox SwayPro like part # BXW0753...

  • What Gear Should 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD be in When Towing
    Having your transmission in OD (overdrive) would be fine when towing a trailer with your 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD. If you were in a super hilly area and you noticed the transmission shifting up and down a lot it would be a smart idea just to leave it in D (drive) so that it wouldn't be shifting as much. Most normal towing situations where you are under the capacity of the vehicle wouldn't require that though. From what I found online though it looks like your vehicle has a 5,000 lb capacity.
