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.

I bought this Trunnion hitch specifically for weight distribution as I have a lot of tongue weight on my trailer. It does a great job of putting some of that weight back on the trailer. You must check the tension bolt before every trip as it work’s loose and could ruin your day if it came out.
by: Steve04/12/2018
Very happy with the product quality, instructions, and performance of the hitch system. I would highly recommend to anyone needing this type of hitch.
by: Anthony12/06/2020
etrailer service is great and the customer service is awesome. The only gripe is the packaging and is not really etrailers fault. UPS ans Fed Ex beat the living daylights out of thier shipments. I am lucky to have all the parts and the hitch was scratched up pretty bad from the abused shipping. Maybe if the boxes were shrink wrapped they would hold up better in shipment. Very fast shipping and I will be using etrailer in the future!
by: Mark J.07/06/2016
Fantastic hitch but make sure you take some time to get it set up. I had to assemble/disassemble/reassemble it a few times to get it set up correctly. Also, I had to go to my local trailer shop to properly torque the hitch ball. Not only did I not have a 1 7/8" socket, but I couldn't torque it to 450ft lbs.
Now that it is installed and dialed it it works great.
by: Daniel03/19/2013
They work great. It took awhile to find a wrench big enough to install the 2 5/16in ball hitch and the parts associated with this system. I didn't have any sockets that size. But, after about two hours, everything was working great.
by: Kenneth10/28/2020
I am very pleased with my Fastway Weight Distribution System. This order was delayed due to the supplier having problems delivering the product but Noahe kept me informed during the hole process. I will definitely purchase items from etrailer in the future.
by: Tate 10/29/2020
etrailer had always been great to work with. When the package tracking hadn’t updated in a few days the CS at etrailer assured me everything was good. Sure enough that same day the tracker showed that my package was only 3 hours away and would be here the next day.
The e2 hitch is really easy to set up and I’m very pleased with my purchase and would go through etrailer agin to purchase it.
by: Peter11/23/2018
Love it! Easy to follow install instructions. Simple / quick hook up and removal.
Fortunately we recieved all parts as the box was completely blown out upon arrival with bolts, washers, and trunnion bars falling out across my driveway. UPS really does not care about the cargo they carry, but I know if parts were missing that etrailer would make it right!

The solution to dangerous issues. This system resolved many of my towing issues. I tow a food trailer. The hitch sagged and the lowered hitch raised the front end of my SUV. I also experienced sway and buffeting when tractor-trailers passed. Windy, wet nights and big trucks were white-knuckle drives. NO MORE.
Nobody does it better than etrailer! They answer their phone! They are truly knowledgeable about their products and care about their clients. My first call directed me to my precise options. I ordered it on-line and it arrived a day ahead of schedule. I watched their exceptional installation video three times before attempting installation. This is what sets ET apart. They did not have one video - they had two - one for a truck and one for an SUV / VAN. What was not covered in the videos was only a call away. PAY ATTENTION HERE: The rig uses a set of stacked-washers to adjust the "angle" of the hitch ball. The more washers you use - the greater the angle and the higher the tension of the torsion bar. If you begin with too many washers, you may find that after you use the provided torsion bar installer (a variant on a crow-bar) to install your torsion/control-bars. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE BARS BACK OFF! That was my case. And if you cannot get the bars off - you cannot remove the tow vehicle. I had no idea how to release all of that pressure without potentially hurting myself. Ugh. ONE CALL - THAT'S ALL! A quick call to ET. The rep understood my problem but he also understood that mine was a dangerous issue and sought additional help internally. He came back with "...this is going to sound odd but trust me. Chock your wheels. Raise your tow vehicle from the center of the tow bar until you raise your rear wheels off of the ground and until you can move the bars manually (a light tap with a hammer is a good indicator as to whether you have relieved enough pressure by raising the tow vehicle). When you can swing the bars manually - swing them out and away from the trailer and if you swing them far enough toward the tow vehicle, they will simply fall out of their socket. (There is also a release tab you can pull out - but I prefer this method.) It WORKED!
Adjusting this type of system can be an arduous task that is well worth the effort and no company does a better job of selling, educating and servicing than ET. My local tow shop wanted to install a "chain" system without sway control and when I asked him what he thought of the "bar" systems - he said, "...hmm, I've never seen those before". Go with the experts and your own mechanical expertise. ET has your back.

Installed the Fastway E2 hitch on an 2019 F150 to tow a 19 ft travel trailer (E-Pro 19FD) which has 480 ibs tongue weight, trailer loaded is about 3800 lbs. I towed a few trips without a WDH and there was an annoying "bounce" or teetering at the hitch point (on roads that were not perfectly smooth) and a small amount of sway at highway speeds. I Just finished testing and the hitch reduced the bounce and sway and improved overall handling. I did have a problem with the UPS delivery and Nicol T at etrailer immediately got it straightened out and I called customer support with an install question and they were also excellent. My truck already had the timbrem SES rear suspension kit and I needed to know if that changed the install process (since the bed of the truck will not go down once the bumpers is on the axel - about 1 inch). Anyone installing this hitch - watch the install video along with the instruction manual...
by: BillRB03/11/2024
We have used the hitch almost six years without issue. Great hitch and amazing customer service after someone "borrowed" one of our bars without letting us know and forgot to leave us a note. When I shop for another hitch I'll be shopping for another Fastway E2.

- Will Fastway e2 1,000 lb Tongue Weight WD System Work with Trailer with 780 lb TWYour truck definitely has the towing capacity for your trailer so in that regard you are good. For a tongue weight of 780 lbs a system with a 1,000 lb tongue weight rating like the Fastway e2 part # FA92-00-1000 would work great. Your tongue weight falls right into it's range well and it would work fine with the air bags too.
view full answer... - Should Spacer Washers be Added One at a Time With Fastway e2 Weight Distribution SystemYou should add one spacer washer at a time with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-1000 as there is not a specific formula regarding one washer equaling a certain measurement. The reason for this is that there are too many variables in regards to specific vehicles and trailers for one spacer washer to definitively equal a specific measurement. Keep in mind that you should use a minimum of 5 washers and a maximum of 9 washers so you will need to experiment a bit to find...

That said, they did want me to make sure that you were aware of how much weight you are loading towards the front of the trailer near the tongue as that could then change your tongue weight rating. However, I think the above system rated for up to 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight...
view full answer... - Fastway e2 Weight Distribution for 2023 Flagstaff 25FBLS with 824 lb Tongue WeightHitch weight and tongue weight are interchangeable terms that refer to same thing. For a tongue weight of 824 lbs the Fastway e2 part # FA92-00-1000 that you referenced would work really well as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000 lbs. Ideally the tongue weight of the setup falls right in the middle of the TW range of the system so for this would be ideal.
view full answer... - How to Stop L-Brackets of Fastway FA92-00-1000 W/D Hitch From Moving on Trailer FrameI spoke with my contact at Fastway about the difficulty you're experiencing. The most common reason this happens is when the L-bracket bolts aren't tightened evenly. If the bolts aren't tightened so they're perfectly even, the link plates that the L-bracket attaches to won't place even pressure against the trailer frame and therefore won't stay in place. Fastway recommends running the nuts down as tight as you can get them with your fingers then alternating back and forth tightening each...
view full answer... - When to Set Up Weight Distribution on Vehicle that has Auto Leveling SuspensionWhen using weight distribution on a vehicle that has auto leveling suspension you want to put the weight of the trailer's tongue weight on the vehicle hitch to activate the auto leveling function and then once it has settled set up the weight distribution system. This allows the two to work together instead of against each other.

You'll want to first hookup the trailer to your Ram, let the suspension system auto-adjust, and then you can finish hooking up the bars on the WDH. If you need help picking out a good weight distribution hitch, like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1000, I'll just need to know the tongue weight or GVWR of your trailer and whether you're...
view full answer... - Towing a 7500-lbs GVWR Trailer with 2021 Chevy Suburban and Do I Need Weight DistributionI'll start out by saying that the curb weight of the vehicle typically includes a full tank of gas and the driver of the vehicle (typically 150-lbs for the driver), so those shouldn't be included in your calculation. You're still going to be relatively close, but you'll be under the GVWR of the vehicle and will likely want to put most of the cargo into the trailer if possible. Additionally, you'll really want to pay close attention to the Gross Combined Weight Rating to make sure that you're...
view full answer... - Can Weight Distribution System be Used without Connecting the Spring BarsYou certainly can use a weight distribution system without attaching the spring bars. You'll be using just the shank, head, and hitch ball so it won't have any anti-sway or weight distributing going on but the trailer can still be hooked up and towed. You'll basically have a big ball mount.

It has a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,000 lbs which would be right what you'd need. The advantages of trunnion bars is mainly ground clearance. They just don't hang down quite as far.

If instead you are asking about the round bars of # FA94-00-1000 it will be about an 8 or 9 inch drop from the top depending on the adjustment of the head on the shank and the drop or rise on the shank.

This measurement will vary between different manufactures and different weight classes as with Fastway their round bars have different vertical lengths based on the weight rating of the bar.
