Weight Distribution Hitches for level, confident towing

Get a level ride and cut down on trailer sway with a properly matched weight distribution hitch. Pick your rating by tongue weight, which is typically 10-15% of trailer weight, and choose between easier setup or more aggressive sway control to fit your needs. During setup, check tongue jack and ground clearance so bars and jack pads don't interfere on tight driveways.
Use tongue weight to choose the rating. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. If your loaded trailer is 5,400 lbs, expect around 540 to 810 lbs of tongue weight and pick a system whose range covers that. A small tongue weight scale can confirm your estimate before you buy.
Confirm room around the jack, jack foot or pad, and nearby brackets. Some setups may require removing the jack pad or foot for travel to avoid contact with spring bars. Check for items like a breakaway switch or propane-tray supports that might need moving or trimming, and ensure any hydraulic unit and hoses have a clear path.
Systems with steel spring bars and dual-cam sway control can provide stronger sway reduction. They not only help prevent sway from starting but also work to reduce it as it happens. Leveling the rig helps too, so match the setup to your tongue weight and trailer size for best results.
Yes, it can help mitigate the leverage from a long hitch extension and reduce some sag. Set it up so the truck and trailer sit level and fine-tune the bar or spring force as instructed. Watch for reduced ground clearance with long extensions and approach dips and gas station entries carefully to avoid scraping.
