Weight Distributing Hitch

Create a 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.


Serrated Washer System

Unique Features of Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution

The easy-to-use, serrated washers on the Reese Strait-Line system make adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This is a huge improvement over the standard pin-and-washer method, which involves piling washers - one on top of another - onto a difficult-to-access pin. The serrated-washer system lets you easily loosen, adjust and tighten a single washer and nut on either side of the head for simple, secure positioning.



The trunnion spring bars of the Strait-Line system slide into the weight-distribution head for quick, easy installation. With a tapered design and hot rolled steel construction, these bars offer superior flex, ensuring a smooth, controlled ride for both your tow vehicle and your trailer. These specially designed bars have rounded, hooked ends, making them the only kind of spring bars that can function with Reese's active-style, dual-cam sway control.


Weight Distributing Hitch

Dual-Cam Sway Control

Reese's dual-cam sway-control system stops trailer sway before it begins. This is a significant improvement over traditional friction-style controls, which help to correct sway only after it has already begun. This specially designed system uses unique sliding devices called "cams" to suspend the spring bars of your weight-distribution system. One end of a cam bolts onto your trailer's frame, and the other end attaches to the lift bracket via the lift chain. The rounded, hooked ends of the spring bars then sit in these cams. The controlled placement of the spring bars keeps your system secure while still allowing enough movement for free, easy interaction between your trailer and your tow vehicle.



Dual-Cam Sway Control Turning

During basic, straight-line towing, the cams lock in place and hold the trailer steady by applying constant, consistent pressure to both sides. This keeps the trailer from swaying in crosswinds. When you go into a turn, the cams unlock and slide to allow a controlled, full-radius maneuver. If you swerve suddenly, the cams will give to accommodate the movement while still working to obtain a straight angle, thereby maintaining control of the trailer.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1,175 lb Dry Tongue Weight Trailer
    With your tongue weight at 1,175 lbs when loaded, you also need to account for any cargo weight behind the rear axle as well to get the total tongue weight rating. I've attached an article to assist. You are correct that your current system is underrated for your application. My recommendation is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET rated for total tongue weights between 1,000 and 1,400 lbs. You want your total tongue weight to fall in the...

  • Old Reese V-5 Weight Distribution System Compatibility
    The old Reese V-5 weight distribution system is not rated by the vehicle. It will be compatible with vehicles and trailers determined by the loaded tongue weight of the trailer along with any any cargo behind the rear axle of the towing vehicle. I've attached an article to assist. Other than that, you simply need a trailer hitch with the 2 inch receiver which is most common and rated for weight distribution system use. Your specific WD system will have a minimum and maximum tongue weight...

  • Weight Distribution System for Trailer with Covered A-Frame
    The Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ95-01-5950 is designed to be used on straight-tongue trailers and would not work with your a-frame trailer. Since you said that the tongue of your a-frame is covered by the nose of the trailer you will want to consider a system that uses chains and attaches directly to the sides of the frame rails rather than clamping around them. For this, I recommend the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control part #...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 3 Axle Boat Trailer On 2018 Ford F150 3.5 EcoBoost

This weight distribution hitch will require a separate 2-1/2 inch shank like the Reese Titan Weight Dist Shank # RP54976 or # RP54977 for a deeper drop. Your truck is rated for up to 13,200 lbs towing according to Ford, so it can handle this towing capacity. If you truck has a 2 inch trailer...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for 24-Foot Enclosed Trailer with Limited Frame Clearance
    You could use a friction sway control device like # 83660 to help control the sway effects caused by passing trucks, but with a 24-foot enclosed trailer that has a lot of surface area for wind to push on, you will get much better results with a weight distribution system that has built-in sway prevention. These perform much better, and they also allow you back up the trailer without having to disconnect the sway arm. All friction arm units must be disengaged before you try to back up the...

    Thank you for all of the details and photos! The Replacement Head # RP58167 and Curt Hitch Ball # C40008 are what you need to complete the 12K system. Since this same head is used for the 12K and 17K systems all you need to do is get two of the 1.7K tongue weight arms # 66010 to upgrade to the higher rated system.

  • Best Weight Distribution System for a 12,000 lbs Toy Hauler
    Hey Rob! Weight distribution systems are based off of tongue weight which is 10%-15% of your trailer's total weight so that would put a regular trailer between 12,900 lbs and 1,900 lbs. Since yours is a toy hauler you're not going to get close to the 15% when you're loaded up because the weight of whatever you're hauling is going to be behind your rear axle. With this in mind, I recommend the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # RP66075. This system has a tongue weight...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution With Sway Control For Open Range Trailer
    The best way to find a weight distribution system for your setup is to use a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight capacity range of the WD system. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of the trailer when it is fully loaded and ready-to-tow added to the weight of any cargo places behind the rear axle of the towing vehicle. A good estimate is 10 to 15 percent of the trailer weight. If you get a system that is now big enough then it is essentially...

  • Recommended Reese Strait-Line for 2022 Silverado 2500 Towing Forest River Cherokee 294RR
    The Reese Strait-Line system should be chosen according to your loaded tongue weight. Ideally you want your actual tongue weight to fall in the middle of the tongue weight range of the weight distribution hitch. Since your dry tongue weight is 1,180 lbs the # RP66084 isn't rated high enough. You will be over the 1,200 lb max once you add propane and batteries. Based on your GVWR and dry weight you more than likely will be able to use the # RP66130. This has a tongue weight range of 1,000-1,500...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution And Air Suspension Kit For 2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab

    Sometimes just use of new spring bars can update a weight distribution hitch to match the tongue weight (TW) of a new trailer, but in the case of your Equal-I-zer system, part # EQ37140ET, the highest-rated bars are the 1400-lb set # EQ90-01-1499 that you now have. I noticed the various trailer specs you provided seemed not to match up; the dry tongue weight of 1400-lbs that you quoted seemed high for a trailer with a GVWR of 10995-lbs.
