When your trailer tongue weight presses down and makes the rear of your tow setup sag, this system brings everything back to level. The Curt MV Weight Distribution System evenly spreads 600 lbs – 800 lbs of tongue weight across all the axles so your ride feels balanced and steady. With a maximum 8,000 lbs gross towing weight rating, it restores proper control and stability so you can tow to the full capacity of your hitch.
The round spring bars are made of solid, forged steel for reliable strength that holds up under load. They’re powder coated to fight rust and corrosion, and each bar locks securely into the head. The lift brackets and chains give you a classic, proven setup that stays dependable over time. Grease zerks in the head assembly make it easy to keep the system maintained and moving smoothly trip after trip.
Dialing in your weight distribution is simple with the traditional washer-stacking design. Just add or remove washers on the spacer rivet to set your preferred head tilt and balance. The included adjustable shank fits 2" × 2" receivers and gives you up to 6" of rise or 2-1/2" of drop, so you can match the exact trailer height you need. The 12"-long shank and 31-3/16" bracket placement dimensions make it easy to get the geometry just right.
Out of the box, this setup focuses on weight distribution only, but you can add a bar-style friction sway control kit (part # 17200 – sold separately) when you’re ready. The add-on uses friction to help bring the trailer back in line when wind or passing traffic tries to push it around. It’s a straightforward upgrade that gives you flexibility as your towing needs evolve.
Everything you need to set up is included: head assembly, adjustable shank, spring bars, lift brackets, lift chains, handle, and all necessary hardware. You’ll just need to add a hitch ball with a 1-1/4"-diameter shank to match your trailer coupler. Once installed and leveled, the Curt MV delivers a smooth, steady towing experience that feels secure and predictable every time you hit the road.

Used the hitch to tow a jayco 154 BH. Made towing easier. We have since traded to a little bigger camper and the hitch still works like a dream. I would recommend the hitch to anyone towing a trailer.

I keep everything greased and out of the weather so the whole hitch is still like new. I still feel this is a great buy.

The product has worked excellent. Its rugged, thick steel that has held up to many camping trips.

It’s still in the box, sitting in my garage, never opened, never used. Anyone want to buy it from me?
