Fight back against winding roads and strong wind gusts that cause your trailer to get squirrelly. This system evenly spreads out your tongue weight for a smoother ride. Customize with your own hitch ball and shank to suit your towing needs.

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.
If you've got a moderate amount of sway behind you when you tow, and you want to save a few hundred bucks on getting a more premium option like an Equalizer or the B&W Continuum - which you know would be overkill for your application anyway - the Fastway e2 might be the middle of the road option you're after. It creates a rigid system of steel bars and L-brackets that rub together to create friction, which prevents your trailer from getting off track behind your tow vehicle. And it uses friction to force your trailer back in line if a strong crosswind or passing truck is a bit too much for the rigid hold to handle on its own.
Because the steel-on-steel friction of the bars and L-brackets is noisy, don't be alarmed if you hear some banging, creaking, and grinding. It's just the system working to correct sway.
Fun Fact: Steel-on-steel friction is what locomotives use to keep multi-ton railcars from swaying.
To adjust the tilt, simply slide washers onto the spacer rivet and insert it into the head assembly. Once the spacer is in place, tighten the shank bolts to secure the head to the shank. To check if your truck and trailer are level, you'll need to hookup and release your tongue jack. Repeating this step means adding more washers if the rear of your truck is sagging, or removing washers if too much weight has been distributed to your tow vehicle's front axle.
While the washer-stacking method allows you to fine-tune the setup at the time of installation, it's going to require some patience. It can be time consuming because, if you don't get everything right the first time (which, you probably won't), you'll have to take the head unit apart to adjust the washers. You might have to raise or lower the L-brackets too to get the tension just right, and that's a bit of a pain also. Not to mention that you might have to repeat this process if your tongue weight changes or if you swap out your tow vehicle.
Pro Tip: For a step-by-step guide on how to fully install the e2, check out our videos at the top of this page. Our installers even have some advice to offer on measuring your vehicle's squat.
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.

Purchased kit because I had most of the parts on my existing kit that got bent/damage, or lost due to pushing camper through snow and rough terrain, was cheaper than buying the parts I needed individually. All parts in kit were of great quality and is easy to install.
Excellent product! Arrived on time and in mint condition. I've used this brand before so I trust it, but etrailer gets kudos on primo delivery and answering support questions when I have them. Special thanks to [email protected] at etrailers!
I tried to buy a weight distribution hitch from mail order company and they sent me the wrong one twice. Twice. I shipped them both back (Pain in the butt) and ordered it from you guys for $15 more. It came not only Free Shipping, but correct and in two days!
You have me hooked!
Thanks! (I'm going on vacation with my family and needed this leveling hitch!)

I love it! I have owned 3 or 4 other leveling hitches in the last 20 years and this is the best one I have ever had. Easy to hook up and works like a charm!
Great for safe towing! Use this on my flat bed racecar hauler, about 6k# total and my 1/2 ton Yukon feels like a 3/4 ton. Follow directions to setup properly and it feels great. Note that I had to put the car a few inches rearward after the hitch because of how it distributes the weight. Also for GM vehicles with stabilitrak, Puch the button and release once to turn off traction control, then hold it down until stabilitrak turns off or else it will disable itself and bark at you for half a dozen drives after the hitch is removed.
I have had this hitch/weight distribution setup for a year now and I am very pleased. The trailer hookup is a simple process and the trailer is level. The built in sway control seems to be doing the trick, no issues. I am pulling a 29' Nash 25c with a GVW of 8500 lbs with a 2012 Tundra Crewmax.
The price on this unit is a great price. I already had the setup for years when someone stole my snap up bar and one spring bar. Parts are out of stock and not coming in until 2022 (Nov. 2021 now) so we bought this set. The springs are just shorter than my last set, but snapped right in and work with full system. I feel like the snap up bar is shorter than my last bar. My last bar was solid and didn't break down, but I am guessing they replaced it with one that you can break in half. Otherwise, totally works. My springs were slightly used but after a single drive, I know it is going to rub off the paint anyway. They are better than my current rusted ones. I would give 5 stars because delivery was on time, all the stuffs were there and the price is great, but would give 4.5 stars for receiving used parts without that being in the description.
Already owned the 6,000lb E-2 system and have found it to be excellent. Traded in my travel trailer for a much larger one and thanks to the E-2 system only needed 10,000 shanks instead of a whole new system.
Ended up ordering the kit which included a second set of L Braces as I intend to buy a boat soon and this will allow me to switch trailers without switching out the hitch & stabilizing system.
I have found the E-2 system both easy to use and highly effective allowing tow speeds in excess of 70mph even in windy conditions without issue. It's so effective it's easy to forget you have a trailer behind the truck.
Highly recommend and the folks at E-Trailer were a great help as well as providing excellent pricing.
Bought this for a 4th Gen Ram 2500, to use with our travel trailer. I liked that i had to purchase the hitch shank separately, due to most WD hitches, dont come with the proper shank for taller trucks anyway. This is a great product, and was easy to install. Definitely helped with the sway. We didnt have much sag to start, due to the heavier truck. It did also take the small sag we had out completely. I would purchase again if needed.
Seems to work great. Have done a trial tow around the neighborhood. True test will be a real trip out of town.
Was pretty easy to set up. Do not tighten the mounting bolts to shank until after the setup height, angles, etc are set. The lock tight material in those belts makes is REALLY hard to undo them if you need to.
Got the hitch in 2 days, installed it via instructions and a few videos. No problems, works as advertised, usual awesomeness from etrailer.
Installed it on a 5K pound 27 foot travel trailer, hitch weight 550... towing with '07 Tundra, 5.7L, pulls like a champ.
My tow vehicle is a 93 Fullsize Bronco.Setup on my 20 foot JayFlight.Don't even know it's there.Very pleased.
Everything works great. As always etrailer ships quickly and answers all your questions
Looks to be well built. Delivery was quick. I would buy a 2nd one if I ever needed it.
Works well easy to install
Easy to install easier to use just minor tweaks
Great service and follow up. Won’t go anywhere else.
