Create a 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.
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.

real fast in getting here......the box was in excellent condition
Works as expected...great value!!!
Product worked perfectly, I paid extra for fast shipping and the arrival was just in time before my family camping trip.thanks Again!
System works well for my 7000lb trailer. Am happy with the product and it was a good price.
I don't have anything to compare it to - bought this before we even towed for the first time, but it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do! No problems with installation or usage to report. Very pleased.
Haven't tried it out yet but shipping was very fast. Will order from etrailer again.
Although it took five days for my order to arrive, even though I paid an extra 14.95 for two day shipping, two of the five days were weekend days. My order was intact and in perfect condition. High quality and priced right. Very satisfied with etrailer. I will buy from them again.
Works great, just need to get it setup right and your good to go. Worked great to equalize the weight so I could pull this trail safely down the road
This stabilizer hitch solved my problems towing a 31ft travel trailer. It is a well built product and etrailer provided excellent service when I purchased it.
Relatively basic installation with correct LARGE torq wrenches for the ball . It doesn’t take long in a nice flat parking lot. I hooked this up to tow a travel trailer on a cross country move 3500miles or so with a good share of dirt roads, Made the ride smoother and safer
The product was received in good order and went together with the instructions. the product was put on a 2009 Yukon Denali and a 2017 24' Sportsman Travel Trailer. There are some questions about the tightening instructions of some bolts which I will call about.
I have had my equalizing hitch for about a year now, and I have been very satisfied with this product.
My hitch arrived as scheduled and in good condition. it was fairly easy to install (though I admittedly had help from my father-in-law!), and it is simple to hook up to my camper and truck.
Prior to owning this hitch, my camper/truck would sag where they connected, and would cause extra stress on my brakes, causing the discs to overheat. My rig now sits much more evenly, and I have noticed a big difference in the amount of heat that is generated by my brakes.
I am very happy with this purchase!
I've been using WD hitches for almost 20 years. The Curt WD hitch is solid, sturdy, and simple to set up. I prefer the trunnion style and use a sway brake, also. This setup has never failed, regardless of the abuse it's subjected to.
Fast shipping, great hitch, easy to install, remember to be patient when adjusting the first time. I shoulda measured for trunnion bar length before ordering. I needed the 28" not the standard 30". I've ordered from etrailer twice, and am very happy with their service. Will definitely order more in the future.
Put this on a 1997 GMC C1500 with original springs, pulling a heavy 18 ft tandem flatbed. It takes all the squat out of the rig when hauling a heavy or slightly nose heavy load. Fairly easy to put on first time and anytime, just had to extend my safety chains.
Excellent SystemI have been very happy with this weight distribution system. It has performed perfectly and is built heavy duty for hauling. It is much stronger and built better than most of the systems that I looked at. A+
