Pro Tip: Before you invest in a weight distribution hitch, make sure your cargo is evenly loaded in your trailer to keep the weight balanced. If you still have a hard time even after balancing your tongue weight, a weight distribution hitch should help.
People often conflate sway control with weight distribution. It's understandable because most weight distribution systems on the market today do solve issues with sway.
This system will give you weight distribution only. It doesn't have any sway control built in. But if you find that you need sway control later, it's super-easy to upgrade by adding on bar-style friction sway control (17200 - sold separately). This option allows you to easily dial in the amount of tension with the turn of a handle. This adjustability is nice (even if it takes you a few trips to get it just right), but it doesn't play well with surge-type actuators, and it will have to be removed when backing up and any time you tow on wet or slippery roads.
Your tongue weight is the first thing you need to know when figuring out which weight distribution system you need. Most people think that if they get the highest-rated system possible, it'll be smooth sailing. But actually, this will create a rigid ride and a bouncing trailer. On the other hand, if the system isn't strong enough, it won't be able to distribute the weight properly, making it virtually useless.
Once you know your trailer's tongue weight, add it to the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Then just choose a weight distribution system rated for that combined tongue weight.

Exellent product and Etrailer.com is it pure joy to do business with.
I got this because it was 30 lbs lighter than the others, works great on the dodge grand caravan and pop up camper.
Highly successful in keeping the trailer straight when towing.
Great products at great prices. Everything you need. No need to shop anywhere else. Have had multiple orders with prompt service and great customer support.
