The Reese Pro Round Bar weight distribution system is designed to evenly distribute weight and reduce trailer sway for a smooth and comfortable ride. Includes a deep-drop shank and a preinstalled hitch ball.by: James06/23/2023
Just don’t. Ordered 6/5. It is now 6/23 and I don’t have a complete hitch. Three attempts at shipping have produced two hitches that were reboxed by UPS enroute and missing parts and documentation, and the third shipment (hardware) was in perfect shape, yet failed to include all of the missing hardware that was invoiced. CS absolutely ignored comment about reimbursement for multiple trips to UPS hub to deal with damaged packages and missing parts.
Added pic of attempt #2. Evidently, if it’s got no staples, it’s not the etrailer box.

I love the WD Hitch. Installation was extremely easy but would have been easier with a second person. Fits nicely on the Jeep Gladiator Sport w/o having to remove any of the reinforced bumper. Setup and removal is probably the hardest part, just because of its weigh. The receiver must weigh 60 pounds or so. Towing is amazing and had made long travel much more enjoyable and less stressful. the squat and raise in the front end was terrible until I mounted this hitch. I know my trailer isn't that heavy and only have about 500 pounds tongue weight, but this has made all the difference and I feel much safer when traveling with my family.
Tow Vehicle: 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport (No tow package)
Trailer: 2022 Forest River Rockwood 2318 esp Tent Trailer

Package was received on time and UPS delivered it intact and box was in good shape even though it was very heavy. It took a couple days until I got to open it for install on my truck and trailer. I was disappointed to find that the fasteners were missing for installation of brackets on trailer frame.
by: James08/28/2022
works great on my 2021 Frontier, towing a 3500-4000 lb camper. Have run 2300 miles this season, sometimes in really windy conditions, and the hitch makes all the drama go away. Wish I'd had a similar hitch on my previous larger truck.
by: Brian08/04/2023
My order was delivered in a dilapidated box that looked like it had been used several times. It was taped together to keep it from falling apart. Negative 5 stars for delivery.
by: RGalicia04/09/2024
Exactly as advertised. My trailer runs very smooth and no swaying at all. Even in top speed of 70mph. Easy to install and store.
by: David07/26/2023
Parts were missing not sure if this was an oversight by etrailier or Reese. etrailer ordered the the missing part and is shipping priority delivery.
I haven’t assembled or installed yet. etrailier customer service is EXCELLENT. They help me find the best WDSC for my needs. Amy was was very helpful, professional and personable on ordering and shipping the missing parts.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ETRAILIER!
by: Myrlin07/01/2023
When I went to the front door the cardboard box the hitch was in was really squished and broke open. All the parts were there I guess as there was no instruction or parts listed was there, it makes it really hard for me to figure out how to install it properly. So I guess I will have to find a camper trailer store n order to install it.
Hope it won't cost to much to properly install it. Any help would be greatly appreciate it very much.

Arrived not even in a box. Etrailer was not helpful in getting replacement parts. Took days to even hear back. Ended up just having to ship it back, now my trip is delayed trying to find a weight distribution hitch local
by: Brent08/22/2022
I'm pulling a 21 foot camper trailer with a 1/2 ton pickup and it does help reduce sway and rocking motions. The instructions could be better written and easier to understand. The box it was shipped in was destroyed and it was repackaged in ups boxes before I received it and no parts were missing.
by: Dave 06/06/2023
Installed easily, trailer traveled real tight behind vehicle. I was more than impressed. However, package was very beat up upon arrival.

I will let you know,when I Tow

Thank you very much for all the help. I received the shank today. You people are the best.

Great pricing, lightning fast shipping, and competent/courteous sales support. Very satisfied with both the weight distribution and 2-point sway control functionality. Many, many thanks!

Oh my! Thank you letting us know. Customer Service will be in touch so that we can have the hardware sent out as quickly as possible.
by: Anthony10/20/2022
Works great, makes a huge difference. Used on a 2014 Tacoma pulling a ~5k travel trailer. Without the weight distribution hitch, the truck was bobbing all over the place and it was exhausting to drive. Now the truck sits level and tows much more smoothly.
I took away one star because the method of installing/removing the bars is not as good as I've seen on other hitches. Unless you wear gloves, your hands will get all greasy and there are a bunch of loose parts that you have to keep track of. It works, but definitely not as slick as some of the (pricier) options out there.
by: Stanley 07/13/2023
This product takes a lot of the sway out of the trailer for better towing . Would purchase it again .
by: George 12/27/2021
Worked better than I expected it to. Leveled camper and caravan nicely. Pulls level and smooth at low and high speed. One warning though be very careful with the spring arms. The first time I disconnected it the van was at an angle to the camper. The first side came off easy. I didn't expect (and should have) the other side to be different, but it was apparently under a lot of pre-load and when it snapped off the bracket it slammed to the side and broke my shin bone. My stupid so don't blame the hitch.
by: Dfnsmn09/14/2022
For the price, this has been a good hitch. The setup is pretty simple as long as you're a little mechanically inclined and have the tools for the job. Placement of the round bars and their removal each trip is simple. We have had zero issues with trailer sway and have no sag in the rear of tow vehicle. Very confident towing with this hitch. The only drawback is that the hitch will eat a significant portion of your vehicle's payload if you have a smaller tow vehicle. Just do the math and don't overload.

So sorry to hear that! How frustrating! I am glad to see that our customer service team has already been in touch with you, and are working to get the parts sent out.
by: Timothy 08/29/2023
Instillation took a few hours and I had to buy a socket to change the ball to the 2 inch I needed. That aside, this unit works beautifully, no squat, no sway, and easy hook up.

Customer Service will reach out to you. I have emailed the parts list to you.
by: William 09/28/2021
Excellent value and really well built, high quality hitch. Install was pretty easy. It took me about 2 hours mostly because I was taking my time and being thorough. My rig is a 2019 Dodge Durango sxt plus pulling a 2021 Cherokee wolf pup 16bhs. The difference in ride quality is night and day with this hitch on vs without it. Without question the best investment I’ve made in camping gear and well worth every penny. The written instructions are fairly easy to follow plus there is a really good step by step video available on YouTube.
by: Ray08/19/2022
The product seems good haven't used it yet but the packaging flat out sucks,box was destroyed and the ups guy asked if I wanted to just send it back.I hope all the parts are there.and I will have to paint it.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
- Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 3,800 lbs Camper Your camper is not too light for a weight distribution system and the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution item # RE34FR will work on your trailer. This system works with trailer's that have a tongue weight between 200 lbs and 600 lbs. The built in sway control will help keep your trailer in line with your tow vehicle when you are going down the highway and get passed or make a sudden move. These system includes a 2" shank and a 2" hitch ball. I have linked a review video below.
view full answer... - Will 800 lb Tongue Weight Rated WD System Work on Trailer with 6,900 lb GVWRSince trailer tongue weight can be up to 15 percent of total trailer weight an 800 lb tongue weight system like what you have would work great on your trailer that has a GVWR of 5,900 lbs.
view full answer... - Can You Back Up With Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution RE34FRThe only weight distribution systems that do not allow backing up are those that use friction sway control (which is an added piece), so yes, you can absolutely back up with the Reese Pro system you asked about, which is the following part number: - Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Round Bar - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RE34FR You do not have to remove the spring bars of the # RE34FR or disconnect other parts, you can back up your tow vehicle with the system on.
view full answer... - Can Reese Weight Distribution RE34FR Be Used with 2020 Toyota HighlanderAs long as the hitch on your 2020 Toyota Highlander was one that was rated for use with weight distribution like the Curt # C45CR you could use the Reese weight distribution system part # RE34FR but not all of the hitches that fit your vehicle are rated for WD systems so you'd need to verify that first.
view full answer... - Can Adjustable Shank Included with Reese Weight Distribution System # RE34FR Be Flipped I believe you are referring to the adjustable shank that comes included with the Reese Weight Distribution System # RE34FR. If this is the case (just let me know if it isn't) it can indeed be flipped so that it's used in either the drop OR rise position. I have attached a cutout from the install manual below that shows the dimensions when used in either orientation.

- Will the 8K Reese Weight Distribution System RE34FR Work On a 4,500 Lb TrailerYes, the Reese Weight Distribution System with Shank part # RE34FR will work on a 4,500 lb trailer. That said, hitch weights listed online are dry and you also need to add the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle. Therefore, you are likely underestimating the tongue weight so this system will be more ideal with this in mind.

- Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 3,000 lbs Trailer Yes, you will. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System item # RE34FR has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your Ram when you make sudden moves or get passed on the highway by a semi. This system has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs so it will be perfect for your 3,033 lbs trailer. This system includes a 2" shank and a 2-5/16" hitch ball.
view full answer... - How is Different Spring Bar Tension Accomplished with the Reese Weight Distribution RE34FRUsing a different amount of washers in the head of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE34FR will allow you to adjust how much spring bar tension is used. The more washers are used the further down the bars will point and the more amount of force would be required to get them onto the mounts.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 3,000 lb TrailerThe 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 determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Typically tongue weight is 10-15...
view full answer... - Do You Carry The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution 49911? The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR is the Reese item number 49911. We have to give items different numbers from the manufacturers since we carry so many different items from several different manufacturers. Often times it is more expensive to replace a few parts than an entire weight distribution system. I know that doesn't make sense but it is typical especially with parts which are manufactured overseas.
view full answer... - Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch - How Much Does It Weigh Minus The Bars?Pertaining to the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch # RE34FR, the head itself without a ball is about 20 lbs. The shank is about 25 lbs. The ball itself would be 3 lbs. Each spring bar is about 12 lbs apiece.

view full answer... - Should 2017 Carado Axion Use Weight Distribution Towing 2022 Sun Lite 16BHSince your trailer would end up weighing less than half of your 2017 Carado Axion's total weight a WD system wouldn't be as strongly recommended but it wouldn't be a terrible idea. For a system that would be rated well for your camper the Reese Pro Round Bar kit part # RE34FR would be a great solution.
view full answer... - Replacement For Reese Weight Distribution Hitch With 550 lb Spring BarsAppreciate the photo, and what you have are old Reese 550 lb spring bars that have been obsolete for some time, as has the entire hitch. So just the head isn't available, and you can't get a different one from Reese because you can't mix and match parts from systems as they won't work together. So you'll have to get a new system altogether, and for a good replacement use the following: - Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR The # RE34FR has bars rated for up to 600 lbs and...

- Is Weight Distribution System Needed to Tow 16 ft Caravel with 2015 GMC Sierra 1500You'd probably be okay without a weight distribution system but I pulled up the weight of an Airstream Caravel and found that it weighs 3,500 lbs and has a tongue weight of 500 lbs which is enough weight that you would see benefit by going with a WD system like the Rees Pro part # RE34FR. Normally if the weight of the camper is over half the weight of the vehicle a WD system is recommended.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2021 Sunlight 16BHIt looks like your 2021 sunlight 16 BH has a GVWR of 3,500 lbs which would make the tongue weight 10-15% of that (350 - 525 lbs), so something like the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE34FR would work great. This WDS has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs, a gross towing weight capacity of 6,000 lbs, and includes a 2 5/16" hitch ball. Ideally you'd want to load your trailer up as if you were heading out on your trip, and get your total tongue weight from...
view full answer... - Will Reese RE34FR Round Bar Weight Distribution System Allow Trailer to Be Backed UpThe Reese # RE34FR Weight Distribution kit can be used while backing your trailer, but if you need to make sharper turns that could possibly cause the trailer to jackknife, you'll want to remove the spring bars before backing the trailer. The owner's manual lists no prohibitions regarding using a weight distribution hitch, so the # RE34FR system you looked at would certainly be compatible with your 2021 Honda Pilot. The system is designed for trailers with fully loaded and ready to tow...

view full answer... - Difference Between Reese 49911 And Reese 66557 Weight Distribution SystemsOther than the price and weight difference, the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE34FR uses round bars, and 66557 uses trunnion bars. These bars are usually priced higher than round bars nd are utilized in more heavier applications. Additionally, trunnion bars offer more ground clearance than round bars.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for Jayco Jay Flight 145RDThe Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control part # RE34FR is what I recommend for a Jayco Jay Flight 145RD. This system is rated for up to 6,000 lbs so even with your trailer fully loaded you won't ever exceed its capacity. It's a complete system that comes with everything you need including a pre-torqued hitch ball.
view full answer... - Which Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch For 5,000 lb Airstream Travel TrailerI think you'll need to go up a level in weight rating for your 5,000 lb GVWR Airstream travel trailer. The reason being the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR is for loaded tongue weights between 200 lbs and 600 lbs. I assume the 520 lbs is the dry tongue weight, and generally tongue weight is 12-15 percent of a trailer's GVWR. If the 520 lbs is your loaded tongue weight the # RE34FR will work, but the option I know for sure will is the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution...

If that weight is the unloaded weight and it would end up being more than that when loaded the next size up is the part # RE94FR which has a range of 400-800 lbs.
