When you’re towing through crosswinds or making a sharp turn, trailer sway can make things stressful fast. The Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Hitch uses a positive caster angle built right into the head assembly to fight sway before it even starts. It works like the self-centering action of a steering wheel, keeping your trailer consistently in line behind you. The pre-set pitch also makes installation straightforward—no tricky washers or fine-tuning needed. Just mount the head at the right height on the 11-hole shank and you’re ready to go.
A balanced setup makes all the difference in how your rig handles. The TrackPro evenly spreads your tongue weight—between 1,000 lbs and 1,300 lbs—across all your axles so your ride stays level and under control. That means no sagging at the rear and better steering up front. With a gross towing weight rating of 13,000 lbs, it’s built to handle real-world loads without compromise.
High winds or passing semis can push a trailer around, but the steel-on-steel friction design of the TrackPro steps in to correct sway on the spot. The tapered trunnion spring bars flex to absorb movement, while the rigid L-brackets hold the trailer steady. As the bars slide against the steel brackets, that friction works to pull the trailer right back in line. You might hear some grinding or popping, but that’s just the system doing its job—keeping your trailer under control.
Setting up is straightforward with the TrackPro’s adjustable clamp-on brackets. You can position them along the trailer frame wherever needed—no drilling required—and they’ll still clear frame-mounted gear like battery boxes or propane tanks. The included 2-5/16" hitch ball, lift lever, and all necessary hardware come ready to install, so once it’s mounted, you’re good to tow.
Everything about this setup is designed for strength and longevity. The powder-coated steel resists corrosion, grease zerks on the trunnions make maintenance quick, and the system includes everything you need—head assembly, adjustable shank, sway control L-brackets, spring bars, and hardware. With a 3" max drop and 17" rise, it gives you flexibility for different trailer heights while staying rock solid mile after mile.

Hi, again. Steven with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Blue Ox Track Pro Weight Distribution with Built-In Sway Control 11 Hole Shank. Now if you're not familiar with what a weight distribution is or does, it basically distributes your weight of the trailer over the axles of the tow vehicle in the trailer. It's gonna help give you a level and stable ride when towing and you're gonna maintain better control of your vehicle, thus avoiding trailer sag and also excessive wear and tear on your tires. Now this particular system does have a built-in sway control system, which is really nice.
The positive castor angle on your head unit here, that's gonna help keep your trailer centered and it helps prevent the sway before it begins. And the steel-on-steel friction is gonna help create sway caused by like, winds or sudden maneuvers. The head unit is already angled from the manufacturer, it's built into the design whenever they made the steel and put it in place and everything. A lot of systems out there, maybe you have to add some washers down in here to get this tilted back or went out to the correct angle. You don't have to worry about that with Blue Ox, they've already had it set up for you from the factory.
It's a real easy, simple design to use. It is made for a two inch by two inch trailer hitch receiver. You wanna make sure that your trailer hitch receiver on the vehicle you're towing with is made for the right weight, and is rated for use with weight distribution systems. Always check manufacturer for that information, or if you get a hitch from us, we can answer that for you right on the website or the phone. It is made here in the USA.
It's made of hardened steel. The spring bars are made of spring steel. A couple things to point out. There's a grease Zerk down in here on the bar that's gonna help you, you know, keep this pivoting and everything smoothly, so you don't have to worry about it getting worn up on your thing. It comes with spring latch pins.
Does come with your hitch pin up here as well. Now as far as rise and drop from level, you can do a three inch drop, or you can flip the shank over and then you can mount the head back on it and then you could do a 17 inch rise. Now as far as installing this on your camper trailer, whatnot, from the center of your ball, you wanna measure out on the frame on both ways. And in this particular system, you can go back between 20 and 25 inches. So that's your sweet spot. Don't ever try to make it fit less than that. This system is designed with the weight of these spring bars to be set at that exact measurement. So stay safe, please, keep it what they recommend. And as far as mounted this to your trailer frame, I'm gonna pull one of these brackets off here. So this L bracket and retaining pin here, and then this other bracket, your trailer frame will be in here. This sandwiches your trailer frame. You can fit this up to six inch tall frames. So if you hit like, a two by three inch frame or whatnot, you could fit this up to a six inch tall trailer frame. It does come with a spring bar tool, so when you're installing your spring bars, remember the trailer tongue's gonna already be on here and you're basically gonna be putting the weight of those spring bars up in place on the L brackets. So as you can see, it's got a nice hook here. That's basically gonna go underneath your bar. Obviously it's not on the trailer, but this hook here would go over your trailer frame and you would pivot it up using this tool, and slide it onto the L bracket and then put in your retaining pin to keep it safe. It's gonna come with two D-rings or links here that you can tighten up. Those are gonna be on your safety chains. You always wanna make sure you have safety chains on your camper trailer, or anything you're towing. It's also gonna come with a nice set of instructions here, the way you can get this set up. Well that's gonna do it for our look today at the Blue Ox Track Pro Weight Distribution with Sway Control 11 Hole Shank. I'm Steven with etrailer.com. Thank you for joining me.

Oh my goodness! Typically I would recommend touching up the hitch with a rust resistant paint as over time the powder coating will become marred. However since it has not been that long I will have the manufacturer reach out to you.

With a weight distribution system, you want the loaded tongue weight of your trailer to fall within the middle of the tongue weight range that the weight distribution bars are rated for. The bars that are on this weight distribution system BLU67FR are rated for tongue weights between 600 and 800 lbs. Since you say your trailer weight is 7200 lbs, it is possible that you may be overloading the bars. I would suggest that you measure the exact tongue weight with the trailer loaded. You can measure your exact tongue weight with part # e99044. If your tongue weight is between 800 to 1,000 lbs, I recommend to switch out the bars with part # BLU52FR, which have a higher capacity. If your loaded tongue weight happens to be over 1,000 lbs, then you should use part # BLU32FR.

Excessive sway may indicate that the trailer is improperly loaded. As a guideline, the tongue weight should be 10-15 percent of gross trailer weight. If it is not, redistribute the weight accordingly. If you encounter continuous sway or swaying that does not dissipate quickly, adjust the load. I however, do not know your trailer or weights so you may need a biggerstronger system. If you let me know what you are working with I can get you a better system.

Hey Michael! Have you tried blue Loctite on the threads of the l-bracket bolts? I have not heard of those bolts loosening over time so checked out the instructions and they reference using the blue Loctite.

You mentioned that your trailer unloaded weight is 350 pounds and I wondered what your loaded tongue weight would be? The reason that I ask if that this systems spring bars have a tongue weight range of 600 to 800 pounds. If the tongue weight of the trailer is under the tongue weight of the bars then it can create a noisier and bumpy ride. I know that you are happy with the system however I wanted to let you know in case this changes. You can always swap out the bars and go with part # BLU82FR which are rated for 200 to 600 pounds.

Product works great, I had an issue with one of the brackets. A quick email to blue ox and I had replacement parts on my porch a week later at no cost to me. I think the blue ox model that uses the chains, and the bracket that requires drilling to the frame may be better. Not that there’s anything wrong with this model, I think just in hind sight I would have preferred that more permanent installation over the clamp on style. I actually changed out my travel trailer for a larger one, and easily moved the blue ox over. Still works great, I love showing this thing off to friends neighbors when I get the chance. Everyone is always amazed at how it levels out the truck so perfectly.

the Blue ox hithch has worked well. We had a problem with the torsion bar coming out of the keeper brackets in certain situations. I called E-trailer and they gave me Blue oxs number blue ox told me that there were updated keepers for the bar and they sent the ups to my next destination free of charge. I installed them I now have 12,000 miles on them without a problem

Using a trailer jack to lift the truck and trailer up a bit to take tension weight off the bars is often an easier way to put them on.

Works just as it should as my 20trailer is now stable without sway and my tow vehicle rides level. I have also noticed rotating hardware on the trailer frame, but only to a point where the flat bottom of the torsion bar lies flat against the L bracket whereas it doesnt rotate any further. Ive kept it at this slight angle and it works great. Heavy duty and built tough.
