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.
Fastway e2 Sway Control
The two points of sway control within the e2 are created by the steel-on-steel friction that occurs when the spring bars slide within the L-brackets that are mounted on the trailer tongue. Most traditional weight-distribution systems have spring bars that are suspended by chains. Although this ensures that the system is not so rigid as to create bounce in the trailer, it also allows a good deal of side-to-side play in the system.
The direct friction that is applied to the spring bars in the e2 system helps to stop sway once it has begun. The concept is similar to the way in which an add-on friction sway control device functions. When each spring bar moves forward or backward, or side to side, it rubs along the bracket, creating friction. The resistance created by this action limits the movement of the spring bar, thus preventing further side-to-side movement of the trailer.
Most add-on units feature some sort of friction material similar to that used in automotive brakes. But the e2 uses direct steel-on-steel contact to create resistance. This is the same sort of friction that is used with locomotives that pull loaded railcars weighing tons. No additional materials are needed. The steel will outlast any of those other materials, providing an extremely durable, functional sway-control system.

It was easy to assemble, and after using it I would not go back to the chain style W/D hitch.
I did have to purchase a longer shank so I could open my tail gate and had to use longer safety chains.

Excellent service.

I never had any problems with this WD System. Everything went together rather smoothly and it seems to work as intended. It is very heavy, received the product in the mail in it's original box which was tore up pretty good. They should have packaged the hitch better, like inside of another box at least. It seems the paint will eventually come off pretty easily , so touching it up with some spray paint will be in order to maintain the hitch from rusting.
by: Randy W08/06/2022
Product was simple to install (watching video on etrailer was quite helpful). I used the product during a 1100 mile trip, with various roadways/terrain and performed quite well. I had to make minor adjustments for optimal performance.
Now, about the etrailer team...let me start by saying that things were smooth from start to finish. I strongly recommend for safe towing and peace of mind.
There was a snag with the delivery, somehow the product was damaged in shipping and returned without my knowledge; luckily, I was awaiting the product and happened to check tracking status. Once I learned of this, I called customer service and spoke with Quinn. He and team did everything needed to get me the new product ASAP...actually arrived in less than 2 days!!! Great job and you have a customer as long as products/service remain high quality!!!

I had a weight distribution hitch with chains and a separate sway bar prior to this that I had kept from a previous trailer. Not having had to buy it myself, I didn't realize that there were different setups for different weights of trailers and I was probably not using the proper one. A friend recommended I look into a bar setup with the integrated sway control control like this one. I bought the correct one for the trailer I have. Pricing was great and had free shipping at the time. Came with great instructions and the tutorial online was really helpful. The only difficulty with setup was having the strong enough tools. With everything I had LT tires with a good load range, help from my mechanic for the ball installation, and a friend for the rest of the hitch, I'm now driving level, with much more stability and control on the road.

Worked out better than I had expected. If you just follow the instruction book and I watched several of the videos. it will give you step by step instructions and when I finished I was 1/16 from my original measurement on front end and I thought it was great

Took our new RV Trailer out for a test camp, 3 days. Also first time using my new weight distribution hitch. What a difference!! Towed the trailer home before the hitch arrived. Got to see some pretty sky and rocked myself almost to sleep. With the hitch you can almost forget you have the big behemoth of a trailer behind you! Very pleased with not only the price!!! Kudos to my friend Lester Kuhn for recommending this product and company to me!!!
by: Brian 07/04/2021
The hitch is very well made. The problem is with E-Trailer support division. When I asked a question about adjusting the hitch to my truck I was told to refer pages xyz! That is not what I wanted to here after spending hours on a critical issue. I’m still not sure if it is probably adjusted.
by: Jennifer07/22/2022
if i could give you a 5 star rating i would, the original box was destroyed by UPS and the return/exchange process was awesome! you guys shipped out a replacement hitch really quick and i appreciate it. i will recommend you guys to anyone that need a hitch.
by: Daniel07/09/2018
I use this to pull an 9000 Avenger with 960 lbs tongue weight, and it pulls perfectly with this hitch. It keeps my truck and trailer perfectly level and pulls with no sway, even in crosswinds.
by: King01/07/2018
Unpacked and inspected. Not used as of this review, but really looking forward to it in the coming days. This hitch will handle anything I plan to upgrade to in the future.
Owned a leveler hitch in the 70's - nothing like this. Package weight is significant - ~50 lbs. No tubular parts - all solid steel. Extremely adjustable. This is serious equipment, not plug and play. Read the manual!!! Well packaged, shipped fast.
Only issue was from manufacturer related to quality. Pry handle has rubber grip that was sliced somehow prior to packaging. Not etrailer fault.
Have done several transactions w/ etrailer.com. All transactions simple and smooth. Friendly and knowledgeable.
by: Robert 07/01/2022
Your hitch made all the difference in the world. Without it I was ready to sell my Rv and quite camping, but since installing and using your hitch everything is good.

This hitch works very well with my 30 foot travel trailer. Stable and easy to use. Love the helper tool included.

- What Weight Distribution Hitch do You Recommend for Towing a 2021 Keystone Springdale?The best first step for solving wind effects while towing is a weight distribution hitch. For a great hitch that gives you the sweet spot of weight distribution tension with your 2021 Keystone Springdale 282bh tongue weight, we need to know what the loaded tongue weight of your trailer. Given that it has a dry weight of 690 pounds, your tongue weight is most likely around 900-1000 pounds loaded. With that factor, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control -...

You are right, this weight distribution system is not the correct one and will be virtually useless. You will already be over the tongue weight by several hundred pounds without considering the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle which is also added in to the tongue weight rating.

Also, you have to consider the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle as tongue weight too. I would strongly recommend you first determine the loaded tongue weight before buying a WD system. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.

This is due the the bars of the systems have a bit of flex in them which allows the support they provide to be somewhat cushioned. If the bars are rated too high they won't have any give in them and it will be unpleasant. For a loaded tongue weight of 450 lbs you'd want to go with the Fastway kit part # FA92-00-0600 instead as it has a tongue weight range of 250-600 lbs.

Ive only used the hitch a couple of times within a year of owning it. The tool that has the hook on the end that is used to lift the stabilizing bars onto the hitch bends way to easy, it needs to be made out of stronger or thicker medal. One of the metal latches that hold the stabilizer bars in the socket broke off. The weld that held the pin that holds the latch broke off. But other then that it still works.
