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.
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.
The easy-to-use, block-style washer on the Reese system makes adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This uniquely shaped washer can be rotated and positioned between blocks on the weight-distribution head for simple, secure positioning. And the numbered sides provide reference points should you need to adjust your system between different tow vehicles. 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 to obtain the desired tilt.
The round spring bars of this system slide up into the weight-distribution head and secure with pins 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. In addition, 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 (sold separately).

High-performance system is designed to offer the best in weight distribution with an easy-to-adjust, forged head; a raised ball platform; and flexible, powder coated steel, round spring bars. Adjustable shank included. Hitch ball sold separately.the box came all taped up and all the parts were loose in the box and unprotected. Most of the big parts were chipped and some had burrs from hitting the other parts. I compared to another older Reese system I own and the quality of the parts were much different. The older being much better. No paint missing, no chips and the quality of the paint job and forging of the parts was much better on the old system. I called to express my concern and was told it was probably the shippers fault and she credited me $10.00 to purchase a can of black paint and suggested sanding the spots first before painting. I appreciated the $10.00 credit but the quality was definitely less than I expected. If I were to do this again I would probably purchase from a dealer who installs hitches and is a premier Reese dealer. The duel cam system which I also purchased at the same time was bubble wrapped and came in perfect condition. The ball also came in perfect condition I ordered.
Bought this product about a year ago to help when towing our 25' travel trailer. Use a 2016 Silverado 1500 for towing and it makes a world of difference in stability particularly in gusty windy conditions. Installation instructions were straightforward - only took a couple of hours to get everything dialed in. Would definitely recommend and purchase product again.
This equalizer is amazing!!! Made of very heavy steel it weighs about 150 pounds. I can't believe how heavy it is, no one builds with that much steel any more. I'm towing a 5,000 lb camp trailer with a 2020 Silverado 1500. Before this the rear end sagged about 4 inches and the truck handled poorly. With this hitch it is a straight line from front bumper of truck to rear bumper of trailer. The truck feels very solid and handles like a dream. Relatively easy to assemble and adjust using included instructions. Highly recommend this product!

Tommy M - 01/20/2022This item worked great with my 2015 Traverse and new Camper. Back of Traverse has no sag at all. Keeps vehicle very level while pulling 4,500 pound Camper.
Great hitch but it did not come with safety chains I called and talked with James but still haven't gotten any chains
Got this for towing my 21 ft travel trailer about a year ago. It was the cheapest WDH I could find at the time. It works perfect. Makes towing quite a pleasant experience.
The people at etrailer are extremely helpful in figuring out what you need for your application I appreciate all the time they took on the phone to get me what I needed you do not get this kind of service everywhere I would recommend etrailer to anybody
This was very easy to install and required only a few tools. The tutorial mage it super easy.
Shopped awhile for one of these. Best bang for your buck. Easy to use, worked well, video installation that each trailer provided worked great.
The product was just fine and half the price of a similar product elsewhere. But really impressed us was the quality and speed of the service... Rare in this day and age. Thanks
It work great.
It great worked with it awhile and finally got it where I think it’s right
Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
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.
Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
I liked the fact that the hitch ball was pre installed. Unfortunately when I received the box one of the spring bars was missing and there was no hardware in the box. etrailer offered to send the parts that were missing, but I wouldn't have had them in time so I had to buy another WD hitch locally. Didn't like the fact I had to pay for return shipping when the order was shipped incomplete.
Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
I received what looked like a returned package that was missing 2 very important parts. Initially,upon contacting etrailer I received a “thanks for contacting us” email but when I followed up I received a “don’t call us, we’ll call you” email. 3 weeks later, no parts, no contact, zero customer service. Useless item without all it’s parts.

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.
Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
How do they ship a box full of really heavy objects in a single ply cardboard box? The contents aren't individually wrapped or protected in any way, so they bang against each other, scraping the powder coating off. It looks like they were put in a parts tumbler. There was a 10"x10" section of the box almost completely gone, just being held on by a piece of tape. There was small parts just rolling around loose in the box so of course, there's parts missing. so now I have to sit on hold to get it fixed.
I tried to add more pictures of the damage to the parts, but they failed to upload.

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.

The packaging container was delivered damaged. The contents needs to be inspected and verified against the bill of materials
Sierra K - 12/16/2021Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
We had great customer service. We went on our first trip pulling our camper and somehow a pin fell out and we lost a sway bar . Not sure if I am explaining the parts exactly what they are but I called in and spoke to Amy which went above her duties with nothing but pour niceness to help us . She was able to sent us another one with it having a time warranty and with one day shipping. After it was delivered to the campground she even sent a email letting me know it was delivered. She was very professional and followed through on everything she told me .
