Weight Distribution Diagram

Create a more 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.


Selecting a Weight Distribution System

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.


Forged Steel Spring Bars

The round spring bars are made from forged steel, giving them a distinct advantage over typical cast steel bars. Forging is a process where thermal and mechanical energy are applied to the steel, resulting in a finished product that is more resilient to impacts and is stronger in terms of shear strength. Simply put, these spring bars do a superior job of helping to hold your trailer in line because of their added strength and durability.


Built-In Grease Zerks

Built-in grease zerk on the Curt weight distribution system head assembly

The system's head features 2 built-in grease zerks so that you can easily lubricate the spring bars without having to remove them from the head assembly. The grease zerks are located on each of the shafts that encase the spring bars. Simply use a grease gun (sold separately) to inject grease into each of the zerks.

  • Weight Distribution for 2020 Toyota Highlander Towing Trailer with 360 lb Dry Tongue Weight
    For the tongue weight you mentioned of 360 lb dry the Curt weight distribution system # C17052 would be rated too high and would give you a pretty harsh ride quality. The # C17051 with it's range of 600 to 800 lbs would be a much better option once your trailer is loaded and would have a higher tongue weight.

  • Correct Curt Weight Distribution System for Towing a 2018 Keystone Bullet Premier Ultra Light 30RIPR
    It looks like your current system is a Curt MV like part # C17052 which is supposed to help with the distribution of weight but doesn't include any sway control. This is why you were having issues with the wind. There are friction sway control bars like part # 17200 that you can add to your system but they are not as effective as a system that has the sway control integrated into it. The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution (WD) # C17500 does have integrated sway control so it will help to...

  • 800 lbs Round Bar for a Curt Weight Distribution System
    Congrats on the new trailer! I would definitely go with the 800 lbs Replacement Spring Bar for Curt MV Weight Distribution System item # C17072. The 800 lbs bars have a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 800 lbs. That close to 600 lbs already you're going to want to step up the next level. These are sold individually. The item # C17072 round bar works with systems like the Curt MV Weight Distribution System item # C17052.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch With 1,000 lb Capacity
    There is not; you'd have to go with a new weight distribution hitch with a 1,000 lb capacity such as the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17052 or Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution System # C69JR.

  • Recommended Way To Use Weight Distribution On A Trailer That Has A Battery And Propane Tank
    Though I do have another option available, there currently is not a weight distribution system manufacturer that makes a system with bars that are 40" long. At least not that I am aware of anyway. With that said, you will need to use a chain style weight distribution system, like the Curt MV # C17052. But the bars are only 31" long, you might say. This is an accurate measurement, but instead of using the included frame brackets, you can use the Curt Bolt On Chain Hangers # C17005. These...

  • Replacement For 1,000 lb Pro Series Weight Distribution With no Replacement Bars Available
    The Curt spring bars you mentioned won't fit a Pro Series weight distribution hitch as they are not designed to fit that head unit so they won't work. There are no longer Pro Series replacement bars available as they stopped making that version of hitch, so the only option available is a new system. Since you mentioned you had 1,000 lb spring bars you can use a similar Curt system: - Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # C17052 This is the most...

  • How to Determine Tongue Weight of Trailer for Picking Out Weight Distribution System
    To determine the tongue weight of your trailer when it is unloaded or loaded will require you to weigh it. For more info on that check out the link I attached. The tongue weight of a trailer isn't always listed. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on weight distribution...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Trailers with Gross Weight of 7,000 Pounds
    To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If the gross weight of each trailer is 7,000 pounds that would put the tongue weight range at 700 to 1,050 pounds. Based on that I recommend going with the 1,000 pound system # C17052 over an 800 pound system....

  • Weight Distribution System or New Shank with More Drop to Tow Trailer Level
    We cannot open the packages and swap out the shanks so the best option is to either just replace the shank that you have or choose a system that doesn't come with a shank and shank separately. You don't have to get a whole new weight distribution system if you just need a shank with more drop. You can buy just a shank. Most shanks are interchangeable amongst the different manufacturers. If the head of the weight distribution system you have now mounts to the shank using 3/4 inch diameter...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 6700 lb Trailer
    A fully loaded trailer weighing 6700 lbs would have a tongue weight that ranges between 600-1000 lbs, so you'd want to choose a system that's rated to cover that possible range. A typical chain-suspended unit like the Curt # C17057 MV weight distribution system would work fine for a utility trailer that's non enclosed, but if it's an enclosed cargo trailer or a travel trailer, you'll really want to do yourself a favor and choose a system with an integrated sway control component.

  • Pole Tongue Adapter For Chain Style Hangers Weight Distribution Hitch System
    Since you are using a weight distribution system like the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17052 you will need a Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 that is designed for use with the chain style hangers. This has the structure to support the hanger. The Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ95-01-5950 is only compatible with Equal-i-zer and Fastway systems as they have the bolts for the sway bar brackets.

  • Is 10k Curt MV Weight Distribution Too Wide For V-Nose Trailer
    The 10,000 lb Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17052 isn't too wide for your trailer but it may be too long. A lot of times with V-nose trailers what ends up happening is you have to install Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # C17005 on your trailer frame. The arms of the # C17052 are 31-1/2" long so you'll need about that much distance on your frame rearwards to use the system, otherwise you'll need to use the chain hangers. Then for a hitch ball use part...

  • Using Curt MV Weight Distribution System C17052 on Vehicle With Auto-Leveling
    The Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # C17052 you have is rated correctly for your 6,850 lb loaded trailer, as your tongue weight should be right in the 800 lb - 1,000 lb range of the system. So I think the issue is with the auto-leveling air bag suspension not allowing the set up to be complete. For vehicles with an auto-level system, what you will need to do when setting up weight distribution is first connect your fully loaded trailer with...

  • Are Curt Spring Bars Compatible With Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch
    For the most part, weight distribution hitch parts are not compatible across brands. That is the case with Fastway and Curt. The # C17073 cannot be used with the Fastway # FA94-00-1061. If you truly want to use these Curt spring bars you would need to switch systems and get the # C17052. However, I would stick with the Fastway since this will be a downgrade in quality as well as performance. You will also lose your sway control unless you add the # 17200.

  • Correct Weight Distribution System For A 2020 Outdoors RV 24RLS Being Pulled By A 2017 Ford F-150
    I will start by saying that you should measure to the bottom of the trailer's coupler and then the inside top of the receiver hitch to find the rise or drop needed to stay level. This could explain the sway you are getting. With that being said, not knowing which model Curt weight distribution system you currently have, I cannot say if it is the correct one for your set up. From the weights you listed, I would have recommended the Curt Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System # 17302...

  • Will Curt Replacement Spring Bar Fit Older CP Weight Distribution System
    Since weight distribution (WD) systems use spring bars that are tailored to their specific products I would be very surprised if the Replacement Spring Bar for Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17073 is compatible. Even if the diameter is the same, the way the bar connects to the head of the WD unit is almost always different. I tried looking up "CP Weight Distribution" on the internet but the only thing I was able to find is that this must be a company that went out of business years...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for 400-600 lbs and 800-1000 lbs Tongue Weight
    If you choose a hitch that is too light for your application it will not be effective. If you choose a hitch that is too heavy, you'll suffer a rigid ride and a bouncy trailer. Ideally you want a system that has a tongue weight capacity where your tongue weight falls in the middle. Since you are renting different trailers, I would not recommend these Curt models. All of these require drilling in the frame in order to be installed. Instead, consider a system that uses clamp-on brackets....

  • Solutions for Toyota Tundra Rear Sag When Towing with Weight Distribution System
    If you're still experiencing a significant amount of rear sag on your Tundra when using a weight distribution system to tow a trailer, a good solution is a rear suspension enhancement kit, however the first thing I recommend doing is simply making sure your existing system is appropriately rated. The system needs to match up well with the total tongue weight of your setup, which includes both the loaded tongue weight of the trailer plus any added cargo weight coming from behind the rear...

  • Do Chain Hangers Require Trailer Frame Drilling for Curt MV Weight Distribution System
    The chain lift brackets that come with the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17052 have a single 1/2" bolt that is used to secure the bracket to your trailer frame. The instructions call out to turn the bolt until it makes contact with your trailer tongue and then tighten it another 1/4 turn. The only time you would have to drill into your frame for a kit like this is if you didn't have the room for the standard lift brackets and you needed to install the brackets # C17005.

    Since the original Curt system with the dual-cam sway control that you added provided good results I would stick with it because if it doesn't perform the way you want it to you could still try a different system. If it were me I would try the parts I already had to avoid any additional expense until necessary. But you mentioned that you have Curt system # C17052.

  • What is Baseline Number of Washers to Use with Curt MV Weight Distribution System
    Hey Justin, with the Curt weight distribution system part # C17052 the baseline amount of washers to use in the head of the system is 6 and you'll add or subtract to acquire the desired spring bar tension. As long as this is the properly rated system for the tongue weight of your trailer I wouldn't worry about what the max is as it shouldn't be too many. If it seems like you can't add enough then you would need a higher rated system.

  • Curt Weight Distribution System and Drop Shank that Allows 5 inches of Drop Recommendation
    All of the Curt Weight Distribution Systems like the part # C17052 that you referenced come with a standard shank that can only do a drop of 1-1/2 inches. The good news is that the Curt systems are priced so great that having to get a drop shank like the part # 17120 which can do 6-1/8 inches of drop still costs less than going with a different system that doesn't include a shank.
