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.
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.
Friction Sway Control
The included friction-style sway control unit reduces trailer sway caused by winds, passing traffic, curving roads, or sudden maneuvers. As soon as your trailer begins to move out of line, the friction pads inside the unit touch one another and create resistance to help prevent further side-to-side movement. To install the unit, simply mount the ball-and-plate assembly to your trailer's frame with the included self-tapping screws, and attach the sway control ball to the head of your weight distribution hitch. Then attach the bar to both of the balls and secure it in place with the included clips.
Forged Steel Spring Bars
The round spring bars are made from forged steel, giving them a distinct advantage over typical cast steel bars. Forging is a process where thermal and mechanical energy are applied to the steel, resulting in a finished product that is more resilient to impacts and is stronger in terms of shear strength. Simply put, these spring bars do a superior job of helping to hold your trailer in line because of their added strength and durability.
Built-In Grease Zerks
The system's head features 2 built-in grease zerks so that you can easily lubricate the spring bars without having to remove them from the head assembly. The grease zerks are located on each of the shafts that encase the spring bars. Simply use a grease gun (sold separately) to inject grease into each of the zerks.

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C17062. This is the Curt weight distribution system with friction sway control. It's going to evenly distribute weight over the axles of the tow vehicle and the trailer, offering improved stability and control. Ultimately, it's going to create a more level ride for both the tow vehicle and the trailer. Your friction sway control system is included. That's going to reduce sway caused by winds, passing traffic, curving roads, or sudden maneuvers.
It's going to feature the adjustable tension. That's this bolt right here. That's going to let you set the perfect amount of control and resistance. We're going to have the built-in lever to disengage or engage the system. It's going to be held on there with a socket connecting to this ball and this socket connecting to this ball. It's going to be held in place with 2 large clips, so it allows for easier removal.
All you have to do is un-clip the bar unit from each attachment ball and then you can remove this piece. It is recommended that you remove the sway control unit before backing up or reversing and before towing in slippery conditions, such as on wet, icy, gravel, or snow-covered roads. It's easy to remove; that way, you can do that very quickly and efficiently. It's going to come with all the necessary hardware to get that unit installed. That's the sway control unit, now onto the weight distribution system. That's going to feature round spring bars.
These are going to be constructed of solid forged steel for strength and durability. You can adjust the spring bar tension by switching the links in the lift chains to fine tune the system. You can also get the desired tilt here at the head assembly, using a traditional spacer rivet and washer design. Spacer rivet installs in the hole located right behind the hitch ball, under the ball platform. Then you simply just add or remove washers from the spacer rivet to tilt the head up or down; very simple system to use. We're also going to have grease zerks right here on the head assembly.
That's going to allow for easy maintenance, always allows us to attach a grease gun and lubricate the parts that really need it. The steel is going to be powder coated, so it's going to do a good job at resisting rust and corrosion. It's also going to come with your snap-up lever. This going to ease hooking up by reducing lifting required by the trailer jack. Simply attach this to the lift brackets; it just gives you some of that extra leverage that we need for hooking up and disconnecting. Here on the head assembly, it's going to feature the 2-5/16" hitch ball that's going to come pre-installed and pre-torqued. The tongue weight for this unit is going to be 800-1,000 pounds. Maximum gross towing weight is 10,000 pounds. It is designed for 2"x2" trailer hitch receivers rated for use with weight distribution systems. We're going to have the adjustable shank already have the head assembly mounted on there, but the adjustable shank offers numerous mounting holes. That way, you can adjust the rise and drop or the height of the head assembly to fit you particular application. You can use the adjustable shank in the rise position, which is the position I have it in now. With the head assembly in the highest setting, that's going to give us a rise of 5-3/4" from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of our hitch to the top of the ball platform. With the shank in the drop position, it would give us a maximum drop with the head assembly at the lowest setting of 1-3/4", measuring again from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of our hitch to the top of the ball platform. The lift brackets are going to take up about 5" along the trailer frame and then you need to make sure that your trailer frame width will fit inside the bracket, and we're looking at an opening size of, measured here at the top, pretty close to 3". It's going to come with your 5/8" pin and clip to get the shank secured inside of your hitch. All the hardware is provided, so you get the head assembly attached to the shank to get your sway control system mounted and it's also going to come with detailed instructions. Those are going to help walk you through that installation process step-by-step. Again, a weight distribution system is really going to help distribute evenly the weight over the axles of the tow vehicle and trailer, which is going to create a more level ride for both the tow vehicle and the trailer. Then again, this unit does include the Curt sway control system. Also keep in mind a special note is that this is not for use on trailers with surge brakes. That's going to do it for today's look at part number C17062.

Keep your trailer in line with this system that uses a telescoping bar with friction pads to correct trailer sway. Built-in grease zerks in the head provide simple maintenance. Includes an adjustable shank and pre-torqued 2-5/16" hitch ball.Product was good and solid. Installed easy. Haven't towed trailer yet, but lifted the back of the truck to within 1/2" of being level. Box arrived in horrible condition(ripped, holes and the chain hanging out) which ins't etrailer's fault (UPS--United Package Smashers) not unusual. 616208
Received product promptly and installed that evening. Had a question about install and etrailers customer service was very helpful. Please note I tried to call the the mfg number on the bottom of the instruction sheet and it was disconnected. Etrailer came through with excellent detail and support. 613217
Fast delivery!! Easy to order and great product! Will order again. 567759
We had the Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control - Round Bar - 10K GTW, 1K TW - once before and just love. It was easy to order. The salesman was great and follow up ever step of the way. 454135
Well made and heavy duty. The Curt MV Weight Distribution System is complete with nothing else to buy. Great price, fast shipping. Shipping package wasn't strong enough to support the heavy weight. Although the carton was in bad shape when it arrived there was no damage. 603557
Ordered Curt equalizer hitch with draw bar. Excellent price and service. Ordered at 11:30 Tuesday morning and it arrived at 3:30 two days later (Thursday). Great service. I haven't installed the unit yet, but all parts are in the box and in excellent condition. 236899
I ask Sal for some advise on what hitch i needed. He told me and it was the right one. Thank you etrailer. I have bought a lot of hitches from them. always had good luck with them. I like etrailers service . Good shipping, came on the day they said it would. i will buy from them again. Thank you Sam Thomas . they sell a very good product 464902
Have used the load leveling one time and it made a world of difference, just installed anti sway and will be taking a 10hr trip to Canada this weekend so we will get the full use of the complete setup. Installation was actually extremely easy, only had to make minor adjustments and it came out perfect. I would recommend to any of my friends with a camper or even heavy trailer. 439425
Product came fast. However other package is taking longer to arrive. Havent heard anything as to where my other package is and that one was ordered before this package 394494
Excellent product(Curt Weight Distribution & Sway control) at a great price. Install was a breeze. Hoping to use it for many years to come. Thanks etrailer.com for the great product at a great price and very fast shipping. It's great to find such great service these days. 364835
No problems at all. Went from Arkansas to Arizona and here and there and in between. Worked excellently.
Mike G - 04/09/2018The box the hitch came in was damaged to the point that someone had to put tape all around the box to hold it together. The product was damaged with quite a few small dents in it all over. The product was exactly what I needed and was a good price but was disappointed with the damage to the product and the box that it came in. 514355
This was my first time buying a weight distribution system, but I'm very pleased with this product. etrailer has by far the best price, and with free shipping on this product, it was a no-brainer. The system is a heavy steel (100lbs) that seems of good quality that should last many years. Good directions for installation comes in the box, but I also viewed a YouTube video produced by etrailer which I found very helpful. I would like to thank etrailer for their fantastic customer service. I got an email notification that my package had arrived, but when I got home it wasn't there. I called etrailer and on the second ring a customer service employee picked up the phone. The employee contacted UPS for me and called me back within 10 minutes telling me UPS would contact me within the hour. 20 minutes later UPS contacted me who told me the driver had brought the package to the wrong house, but would bring it to my house. About 15 minutes later my package was delivered. I truly appreciate etrailer's customer service, and the fact I spoke to a real person. I would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone. 450569
The hitch kit arrived in record time and didn't cost me a thing extra! The chains were already attached which cut down on assembly time. Although the instructions are a little confusing when it comes to measurements and where to measure and when, but they seem to be complete. The only thing negative I can say is be prepared to pull the hitch head off the shank a couple times to adjust the number of washers (as it does say that in the instructions). I assembled mine per instructions (except I tightened the head bolts too soon) figuring with the ball tilted back just a little, it would hook right up. Turns out, I cant even attach the last link to the clevis as it is too far back. Sooooo tomorrow I will take the head apart and remove a couple washers on the rivet and try it again. Overall, I think it will do a fine job in distributing the weight through out the truck vs all in the rear. The friction bar was easy to install too. Our camper already had a sway control at one point, so all the holes were there. We did purchase an additional Curt friction bar for the drivers side and installed it too. We haven't towed the camper yet with this set up (as stated above, its not quite assembled correctly yet) but am planning on the maiden voyage this weekend. Thanks ETRAILER for another sweet deal on quality products! 268114
Still working Great! The only negative thing I have seen is there are some marks where the friction bars have contacted the hitch head, so either the ball mounts on the trailer are too low, or the hitch head is tilted back too far to properly accommodate the friction bars correctly.
Dave K - 07/05/2017The angle of the hitch head may be a factor, but commonly we see damage to the anti-sway bars when they are not removed while backing-up. This system is not designed to be used while backing up your trailer.

Rachael H - 7/5/2017The service was perfect and the timing was great. Keep up the good work. 242936
awesome easy to use 635567
Couldn't beat the price for such a product. Shipping was fast with the product arriving ahead of schedule. Box was damaged on arrival but all parts are 100% new. This is my second WD hitch of this type. Setup this time around was a snap, and I'm very happy with the product and etrailer.com. 633136
The Curt Hitch setup works great and after towing over 120 days this past year, I have had no problems. The only thing I would improve on is probably impossible (the weight of the components). 625351
I ordered a Hayes brake controller , an sway control hitch, both arrived super fast and customer service was excellent , will definitely recommend and order from e trailer again. 614227
Haven't towed with it yet. The installation was pretty simple. I installed for use with a v-nose 3 horse trailer that I tow with a 1/2 ton truck. My only complaint, and this may be a shipping company issue, the box had huge holes in it. I was missing the hitch head, 2 5/16" ball, and ball mount for the sway control. We'll see how it performs while hauling the horses down the road. I will say that etrailer.com customer support is awesome. They shipped out parts right away to replace what was lost. 579048
Well built product. Works as it should. Best price on the web. 576546

Pretty nice hitch. I'm no expert but this hitch is sturdy and well made. Makes a big difference when towing. 554562
Very solid construction 553614
Received today.......already installed. 100 pounds of steel, delivery guy was sure glad someone was here to help him off load. It's a complete package no guessing as to what it takes for a setup! 553438
owned this for about a year now. i use it on my 6000 pound camper. it has worked perfectly. The sway bar has worked very well when i had a side wind 552218
So far everything is great. I received it a day early from original quote and if everything is in the box that is supposed to be I will be very happy. Their customer service is exceptional. 546681
Received the Product on time and in perfect shape. E Trailer is the go to place. I have always had good service with Curt products. The Hitch package was as described. For my money I don't believe you will find a better 1,000 / 10,000 lb. hitch, only more expensive. 542302
Thank you great service fast shipping great product.. will be ordering power jack soon!! 529904
Great fit installed easy would recommend 529122
Hitch works very well. Works as advertised.would purchase again 529094
Haven't installed yet but exactly what I ordered and received it promptly. 528128
I've use this one on my other trailer works very well .I also like the fast service you get from them from parts to questions. 522642
Every time I bought product from etrailers been nothing but excellent. Good product Fast shipping And the best price from professionals. If you towing deal with etrailer. 510365
Very nice piece and also delivered in great time! 502811
Everything worked as described. It was a replacement for one that come with my camper and I didn’t realize how wore out my old one was. I will purchase another one when that time comes. 500681
Great product,excellent price and fast delivery. What more could you ask for. Have not been disappointed with Etrailer yet. Highly recommend them. 499845
Still working on the inside of my trailer. Needed some TLC. Looks like it should work very well. Nicely made for the price. Thumbs up. 499156
I placed the order it showed up shortly after and in good condition very pleased with etrailer.com. I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends. 492576
Great products had a brake controller, extended mirrors & the weight equalizer. Everything fit perfectly and I am very satisfied. 488579
The item shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. The installation instructions were a little vague and it took a call to customer service to clarify adjusting the hitch. That said the hitch has been a big help in stabilizing towing my 24' car hauler. 487890
just what I was looking 4-----fast shi pping 482486
Everything is excellent. Product is just as expected. Be prepared for it to be on the heavy side. I think my ups driver is ok but looked like he was struggling real good getting it to my porch. I really like that it has the grease fittings. After initial set up it looks like it will be easy to use. 480183
After using it for a year I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. The level system does everything it is suppose to and properly greases it has held up great. I am very thankful for this kit. The alternative on my ram 1500 was a very expensive suspension upgrade to haul my 27ft toy hauler. Thank you
Matt - 03/03/2019The item arrived in good shape and on time. The item looked like it will do the job. Thank You 477772
i order a part i did not need and they took the cost off my bill with no problem. I will order additional parts from this company, they are easy to work with. 475201
Really like the product have a ram 1500 pulling a 30 foot 7by 7 tralier pulled it a few times without the hitch being used scared the h... Out of me really handles well with the hitch in use 466958
I saw this item on e-trailer. I wanted to purchase it so I called the day after Thanksgiving to purchase it. They were closed until the following Monday. I called on Monday and was told the price was now 220.68. On Friday the price had been 200.16. They would not give me the original price, even though they were closed when I called. I didn't think that was fair. I complained and they gave me 5% off. If they had given me 10% off it would have been the original price. The product was good and shipping was good. I was very satisfied except for the price hike. 456390
Exactly as described and fast shipping! 456171
i am guessing the product is gonna be fine since my son and law has one and likes it but the customer service was poor. a banged up unit that was returned by another customer was sent to me and and while i can understand human error, the return process has been negative 445468
