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.

L-Brackets vs. Add-On Friction Sway Bars

• L-brackets that hold spring bars in place provide a tried-and-true method of sway control
  • Provides weight distribution and sway control in one system
  • Ensures steady towing, but can be noisy
• Friction sway bars can be added to a standard weight distribution hitch to force your trailer back in line
  • Has to be removed at times (e.g. in the rain or when you're backing up), but its adjustable tension is a plus
  • Doesn't work with surge-type actuators

If you need an option that's just a bit easier to work with than the typical entry-level weight distribution systems, while still providing weight distribution and sway control in one, the Curt TruTrack 2P might be just what you're after. This model doesn't make you fiddle with stacking washers, and moreover, the round bars are a easier to pop into place than regular trunnion bars.

The TruTrack 2P 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. Just keep in mind that, 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.

Why Use a Weight Distribution Hitch?

• Prevents uneven tire wear on your vehicle and trailer
• Keeps the rear of your tow vehicle from sagging
• Lets you tow to the max capacity of your trailer hitch
• Stops your headlights from pointing up at the sky
• Gives you control over steering your rig

Selecting the Right Weight Distribution System

• Think "Goldilocks"
  • If you go for overbuilt, you'll have a rigid ride
  • If it's not strong enough, it's virtually useless
• Let your tongue weight be your guide

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.
