Wind gusts and passing semis can make towing nerve-racking, especially on open highways. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System uses a built-in positive caster angle in the hitch head to create a self-centering effect as you drive. Trunnion bars maintain constant tension, holding the trailer firmly in line so it tracks straight behind you. Paired with taut lift chains held by rotating brackets, the system eliminates side-to-side motion without friction pads or clunky add-ons. The result is a quiet, steady ride and confident control even in crosswinds.
Uneven weight across the axles can cause sagging, porpoising, and poor steering. This system spreads up to 1,000 lbs of tongue weight evenly through the tow vehicle and trailer for a level, predictable ride. With a 10,000 lbs gross towing weight rating, it restores balance so your headlights stay level and your tires wear evenly. Whether you’re towing a mid-size or heavier travel trailer, you’ll feel the truck and trailer move as one solid unit.
Getting ready to tow shouldn’t require wrestling heavy bars or snapping tension arms into place. The SwayPro’s rotating lift brackets let you slip the chain into the slot and use the included wrench to rotate until the lock pin engages—no muscle strain, no noise. The hitch head arrives with the correct pitch preset, so you only adjust the height on the 13-inch shank to match your setup. Installation is quick and straightforward, often done in about an hour.
Every component of the BXW1006 is built for long-term dependability. The trunnion-style spring bars lock solidly into the head with pins and clips, keeping motion tight and silent. Grease zerks inside the head assembly make maintenance clean and easy. The powder-coated steel resists corrosion and holds up through years of towing. Even after thousands of miles, it stays smooth and quiet without the grinding or popping common in friction-style systems.
Different trailers often need different hitch heights. The included adjustable shank offers up to 13 inches of rise or 7 inches of drop with holes spaced 1-1/4" apart on center, giving you precise control to keep your trailer level. The clamp-on brackets fit frames up to 6" tall and require no drilling. It’s a complete setup—head assembly, adjustable shank, spring bars, lift chains, rotating brackets with handles, reducer bushing, pin and clip, hitch ball, and all hardware—ready to hitch up and go.

Yes this blue ox weight distribution system part # BXW1006 does require the brackets to be positioned 29 inches from the hitch ball. Since you have a support bar where the bracket does need to be positioned this weight distribution system will not work for your trailer. I recommend the equalizer system part # EQ37100ET. The sway control brackets on the equalizer system can be positioned 27 inches to 32 inches back from the coupler. It handles tongue weight from 700 to 900 pounds and will still allow for backing up. It also includes the 2 5/16 inch ball and shank.
