Towing doesn’t have to feel like a tug-of-war between your trailer and your tow vehicle. This system uses Andersen’s patented True Motion-Dampening design with lightweight urethane tension springs that keep everything level and stable. The springs distribute weight evenly over both axles, so instead of your trailer pushing down on the back end, the whole setup rides balanced and controlled. You get less bounce, less sway, and a smoother towing experience overall.
Old-school spring bars can be noisy and awkward to wrestle into place. This design eliminates those heavy metal bars, replacing them with compact urethane springs that do the same job without the hassle. With no metal-on-metal contact, you won’t hear the clank and grind that come from traditional setups. It’s a clean, quiet ride that feels solid without the noise.
Crosswinds and passing trucks can make even confident drivers uneasy, but this system fights sway from the start. Once installed and adjusted, the urethane springs stay under constant tension, working together to push your trailer back to center. Friction material around the ball shank resists side-to-side movement that causes sway, so you don’t need an extra sway bar or add-on device. The ball and tension plate rotate freely with the coupler, so turning stays smooth and controlled.
No more pulling over to unhook before reversing or making a sharp turn. The hitch design lets you drive in reverse while the system stays fully connected. That’s a big plus when backing into camp spots or driveways—you keep the same stability and sway control whether you’re moving forward or backward.
This setup is built for serious towing with a 14,000-lb gross towing weight and 1,400-lb tongue weight capacity. It fits 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers rated for use with a weight-distribution system and allows up to a 4" drop. The kit includes the shank, 2-5/16" ball, urethane springs, chains, brackets, and the wrench needed for adjustment. Once in place, turning the tensioning nuts on each side is all it takes to fine-tune your setup before hitting the road.

Thanks for sharing such a detailed review! It’s great to hear the Andersen made such a noticeable improvement in sway and porpoising, especially compared with your previous WDH. Your feedback on the instructions and fine-tuning is helpful too. For reducing squat, the Andersen can generally be fine-tuned by increasing chain tension evenly on both sides in small increments. Using the tongue jack to take some load off the system makes those adjustments easier. The goal is proper weight transfer to the front axle rather than eliminating rear squat completely.
