Hi James! With your GVWR being 7,600 pounds, your loaded tongue weight should be around 760 pounds. With that said, I recommend going with the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch - 2" Shank - 6" Drop - 8.5K GTW, 850 lbs TW…
Hi Mike; we don't have a way to swap out the 2" ball on the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch #AN88VR. We do have the 2-5/16" ball separately, #AN45VR, but we don't have it as a complete system. If you really want the Andersen,…

There sure is K.C.. For a shorter weight distribution shank that fits a 2-1/2" hitch, I recommend the Equal-i-zer item #EQ90-02-4700. This shank measures 12" long x 9-1/2" tall. It provides up to a 3" drop and has a 16,000 lbs…
Hey Frank. I can give you the dimensions of the shank on the B&W Continuum item #BW28FR but you're going to need to take the measurements on your Silverado 3500 to confirm the tailgate will open. From the hitch pin hole to the center of the…
Hey there Layla! There are a few different forms of weight distribution hitches, but the majority of the systems that have sway control use friction bars, which work similar to brake pads on your vehicle. This works really well, but it can sometimes…
Hey Jon, I have a solution for you but I would not recommend the Andersen Weight Distribution system part #AN33VR for your 2025 Brinkley Z Air 297. What we have found is that the Andersen system does a decent job with lighter weight trailers but for…

Hey Michael! When you're choosing a weight distribution hitch the most important factor is the tongue weight of the trailer. It looks like the dry/unloaded tongue weight of a Brinkley Z Air 297 is 924 lbs. Once you add batteries and propane you…
Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control
Hookup feels simple and quiet with this Andersen weight distribution hitch with sway control. Install is straightforward, it's lighter than many setups, and easy on/off helps cut the hassle on tow day, especially with lighter trailers. Take time to place the A-frame brackets carefully, and know that some setups may see less weight-distributing effect than heavier bar-style systems.
Yes, there is a version with a 2-5/16 inch ball. Verify your trailer requires this ball size before ordering.
It's generally easy to install and simple to hook up. Instructions and a YouTube video made the process easy for some, and it worked as advertised on a test drive. Bracket placement on the A-frame can be tricky—limited threads on the chain bolts mean being off by over an inch can leave it too loose or too tight, so double-check bracket location.
It can help with sway and sag and runs quieter, with reports of a lot less bouncing and a lighter setup than other hitches. In the wake of other vehicles, some sway can still occur, so fine-tune your setup if needed. If you need strong weight distributing, note one setup didn't do much for actual weight distributing purposes—confirm performance with your rig.
Yes, it can be used on lighter trailers. Adjust the system to match your actual weight and you'll be set. Take a short test drive to confirm the setup meets your expectations before longer trips.
