Weight Distributing Hitch

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.


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.

  • Troubleshooting Surt Chain Hangers Not Having Room to Fit on Trailer Tongue
    Hey Robert, thanks for reaching out! The 10K Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # C17322 is going to have arms that sit closer to the coupler than pretty much every other weight distribution system on the market. With this setup the hangers are going to sit 30-5/8" out from the coupler (see attached photo). If the problem is that you don't have enough space on top of your frame for the clamps, then I recommend looking into the Curt Chain Hangers # C17005 which...

  • Chain Hangers and Curt Short Arm Weight Distribution System for a V-Nose Trailer
    Yes, we do have a set of mounting brackets that do not go over the top of your tongue for chain style weight distribution systems. It is the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems item # C17005. These hangers mount directly to your tongue with included bolts. Since your trailer has a v-nose front, I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System item # C17322. This system has shorter arms to accommodate your v-nose tongue. This system has an 800 lbs to 1,000 lbs tongue...

  • Weight Distribution for a 10,000 Pound Trailer and 2004 Ford F-350 Diesel
    When calculating tongue weight to choose a weight distribution system you also have to add in the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. So the minimum weight of the trailer is around 5,000 pounds and 10,000 pounds is the gross weight. At 10 to 15 percent that puts the range at 500 to 1,500 pounds. That is a big range. But it is probably not likely that you will be at 1,500 pounds tongue weight (correct me if I am wrong). So we can look at some other systems. The...

  • Adding a Second Sway Control Arm to Pro Series Weight Distribution System
    All you would need to add a second sway control arm to Curt weight distribution system # C17322 is friction sway control kit # 83660 or # 17200. These bars do not have a left and right, you just have to take out the inside, turn it over, and put it back in. Then flip the whole assembly over. You can flip the plate, handle, and nut around too. Its pretty self-explanatory once you have it in your hands.

  • Is Curt Weight Distribution System Available With 12 Inch Adjustable shank
    The Curt Weight Distribution System With Sway Control, part # C17322, has a 10000 lb gross towing weight and is designed to fit 2 inch by 2 inch receiver openings. It comes with a shank that has a 5-1/2 inch rise or 7-1/2 inch drop opening. If you wish to need the Curt Bolt-Together Adjustable Shank, part # C17100, it would have to be purchased separately.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2023 Ember Overland Series 201FBQ Travel Trailer
    I have a weight distribution system that will work with your 2023 Ember Overland Series 201FBQ travel trailer but there is not going to be enough room on your coupler for the B&W Continuum item # BW28FR. That jack is directly in the way. It looks like your trailer tops out right around 6,500 lbs. This would put your tongue weight somewhere between 650 lbs and 975 lbs. For this I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System item # C17322. This system has shorter spring bars...

  • Can a 2 inch Trailer Ball be Used on the Weight Distribution System Instead of the 2-5/16
    I have confirmed with my technical contact at Pro Series and the Weight Distribution system that you referenced, the # C17322, can be used with a 2 inch trailer ball. This assembly comes equipped with a 2-5/16 inch trailer ball that is 2-1/2 long, and has a 1-1/4 inch shank diameter. It is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 pounds if only the ball mount head assembly is used, but rated for 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight when using the entire weight distribution system....

    When picking out a weight distribution system the most important figure to consider is the loaded tongue weight of the setup. Thats with everything loaded in the trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. If the 900 lbs you listed as your tongue weight is the loaded tongue weight then the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322 you referenced would be a good choice because of its 800-1,000 lb tongue weight range.

    When picking out a weight distribution system you want to come as close as possible to the middle of the effective tongue weight range as possible.

  • Can A Weight Distribution System be Left Installed When Backing Up a Trailer
    Basically with any weight distribution system/sway control you can back a trailer up with it installed IF you only plan to back up mainly in a straight line. If the trailer has to be jackknifed at all then you have to disconnect the setup. The rule of thumb I use for how tight of a turn you can go is basically how tight of an angle can your trailer be at moving forward with the steering wheel all the way turned.

  • Is a 1,000 Pound Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System Good for an 8,251 Pound Trailer
    Curt systems are very popular and do work well. It is a good system. What you need to be concerned with on any weight distribution system is to get one that has the proper tongue weight capacity. For weight distribution you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If you add it up and you are under the 1,000 pound tongue weight capacity of # C17322 then you are good to go....

  • Setting Up Weight Distribution When Transferring from a 1/2 Ton Truck to a 2009 3/4 Ton Silverado
    It sounds as if your new 3/4 ton truck has might be a bit taller and the suspension is stiffer so the tongue weight of your trailer is not affecting the truck suspension nearly as much. In this case, I would recommend adjusting the height of your weight distribution head mount so that the when the trailer is coupled the trailer frame will be towed as level as possible. To adjust the ball mount, park the trailer on fairly level ground and measure from the ground up to the top of the coupler....

  • 6000 lb Travel Trailer Towed By 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is Still Swaying Using Friction Sway Control
    As a first step, you can check the tension control on the friction sway unit. If it is not already adjusted to maximum, try increasing the tension to see if that helps the situation improve. Increasing the tongue weight of the trailer is usually the best way to combat trailer sway. If possible, redistribute some of the gear in your travel trailer so that it is as far forward of the axles as possible. Keep in mind that increasing the amount of tongue weight might require you to readjust...

  • Does Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System Allow Back Up?
    When you need to back up the trailer, with the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System # C17322, you will need to switch the sway control lever to the off position. Then pull two clips, remove the friction sway control bar, and now you are ready to back up. Curt does not recommend backing up with this system because there is a chance that this weight distribution system could bind up and get damaged. If backing up is still a concern, we have the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System...

  • Weight of Curt Short Arm Weight Distribution System When Installing In Hitch
    The total weight of the Curt Short Arm weight distribution system part # C17322 is 107 lbs, but you have to consider that the frame brackets stay permanently mounted to the trailer as well as the friction sway control unit. Also, the spring bars can detach from the head of the system too which allows you to take the system apart in pieces that are very reasonable in weight. So each of the bars are going to weigh around 14 lbs, and then the head and shank will weigh right at 40 lbs as they...

I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.
