Weight Distribution Diagram

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.



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.


Fastway e2 Sway Control

The two points of sway control within the e2 are created by the steel-on-steel friction that occurs when the spring bars slide within the L-brackets that are mounted on the trailer tongue. Most traditional weight distribution systems have spring bars that are suspended by chains. Although this ensures that the system is not so rigid as to create bounce in the trailer, it also allows a good deal of side-to-side play in the system.


The direct friction that is applied to the spring bars in the e2 system helps to stop sway once it has begun. The concept is similar to the way in which an add-on friction sway control device functions. When each spring bar moves forward or backward, or side to side, it rubs along the bracket, creating friction. The resistance created by this action limits the movement of the spring bar, thus preventing further side-to-side movement of the trailer.


Most add-on units feature some sort of friction material similar to that used in automotive brakes. But the e2 uses direct steel-on-steel contact to create resistance. This is the same sort of friction that is used with locomotives that pull loaded railcars weighing tons. No additional materials are needed. The steel will outlast any of those other materials, providing an extremely durable, functional sway-control system.

  • Dimensions of Fastway Replacement Round Spring Bar Arms for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems
    All of the Replacement Round Spring Bars for the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution systems, # FA94-02-1099, # FA94-02-0899, and # FA94-02-0699, measure 31-1/2 inches long. The diameter of the bar at the upper end is 1.39 inches, and the inside groove measures 0.91 inches. I have attached a photo showing these dimensions for you. The spring bars differ based on their tongue weight capacities. The construction of the bars determines their weight capacity, rather than the size of the bar. These...

  • How To Remove the Spring Bars from the L-Brackets on the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System
    When trying to remove the spring bars on the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System, # FA94-00-0800, you should use your trailer jack to relieve the tension on the weight distribution system. By raising the trailer tongue, you are taking some of the tongue weight of the hitch. With the tongue weight lowered, the tension on the bars will be lowered and then you will be able to use the included tool to remove the spring bars from the L-brackets.

  • Troubleshooting Lack of Control with GMC Canyon When Towing Trailer with WD System
    I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2017 GMC Canyon and did see that it has a 7,000 pound maximum trailer weight as long as you have the 3.6L V6 engine. For the Canyon models that feature a 2.5L L4 engine, the maximum trailer weight is just 3,500 pounds. I first recommend making sure that you aren't exceeding this 7,000 pound limit when the trailer is fully loaded. Since the dry weight of the trailer is 5,200 pounds, you will want to verify its weight when you have it...

  • Recommended Fastway Weight Distribution For 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB Trailer
    For your 2006 Buick Rainier and your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # FA94-00-0600 may be sufficient, however, I recommend bumping up to the # FA94-00-0800. This system will give you the same minimum tongue weight, but will allow for up to an 800 lb tongue weight. Based on the specs for your trailer, if you were loaded to capacity you could have a trailer tongue weight of up to 525 lbs, and that...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Trailer with Tongue Weight of 500-600 lbs
    You always want to check your weight ratings and how much your equipment weighs before going on a trip to make sure that you are within your weight capacities. Another thing to keep in mind is that your Tongue Weight (TW) should be between 10-15 percent of your trailer. When looking at a WD system you will want to make sure that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your loaded and ready-to-go setup falls in the middle of the range of the WD system that you choose. You can find your TTW by...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Trailer with Loaded Tongue Weight of 550 lbs
    You asked a lot of great questions, but let's first start with picking out the correct system based on the loaded tongue weight you listed. Keep in mind that the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle needs to be counted as tongue weight too. That being said, the weight of the WD system does not count as tongue weight. The Reese system part # RP66153 has a tongue weight range of 400 lbs to 800 lbs and would work well for you. Also the reason I recommended it is because...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Jayco Feather Light 183
    Yes. We do recommend using a weight distribution hitch on your 2021 Jayco Feather Light 183 to obtain the most control and peace of mind when traveling. In addition to control, it dramatically increases overall safety of your setup. From the available specs I have of your trailer, it has a gross weight of 4,150 lbs and a loaded tongue weight between 415-623 pounds. With that weight, I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800...

  • Choosing a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System for 550 TW
    If you fully load your trailer and find it has a tongue weight of 550 lbs and towing weight of 6,200 lbs, then ideally you should choose a weight distribution system's where your tongue weight sits middle-road of the system's capacity. As for a Fastway e2 option, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW - Round Bar # FA94-00-0800 is a good option. This system has a described tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs - 800 lbs, and your 550 lbs is just slight below halfway on...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Forest River E-Pro 20BHS
    You are correct that you want to be within the weight range of a particular system and that has to do with the total tongue weight. That includes the loaded trailer tongue weight along with any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck. You want the total tongue weight to fall in the middle of the range of a weight distribution system ideally. If you travel with water tanks full, which most people don't unless you'll be dry dock camping, that will add significant weight. For your Forest...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Towing a 2013 Jayco Jay Feather Ultra Lite X17Z
    To choose a correct weight distribution system you need to find your trailer's loaded and ready to tow tongue weight combined with the amount of weight you have stored behind the rear axle of your 2007 Saab 9-7x. From my research the 2013 Jayco Jay Feather Ultra Lite X17Z travel trailer has a maximum gross vehicle weight rating of 3,500 pounds. This means if your trailer is loaded to its full capacity the tongue weight should be between 350 to 525 pounds since a trailer's tongue weight...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A Travel Trailer With A 630lb Tongue Weight
    Hey Craig, You're absolutely correct that too heavy or too light of a spring bar capacity with your weight distribution hitch can cause issues. It's best to go with a system that has your tongue weight around the middle of its capacity range to accommodate when the trailer is heavier with more gear or lighter on your way back home. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ90-00-1000 you referenced has a 700 - 1000lb tongue weight capacity so it's going to...

  • Recommended Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System for Coleman Trailer and Brake Controller
    The Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0800 has a weight capacity of 800 lbs as you mentioned, but weight distribution systems are rated for total tongue weight and have a range. The total tongue weight is the loaded trailer tongue weight plus any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. If your loaded Coleman trailer is 540 lbs, then this system will work really well as your total tongue weight will be in the middle of its 400-800 lbs capacity. If you want slightly better ground clearance...

  • Curt Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 600 lb Tongue Weight
    The tongue weight range of the Curt weight distribution system part # C17500 that you referenced is 800 to 1,000 lbs. If yours tongue weight is 500-600 lbs and you used this system you'd have a pretty rough ride quality. There aren't lighter rated bars for your setup so we don't have a solution aside from just replacing the entire system. The part 17301 would be a great solution with a better range as it is for up to 800 lbs of tongue weight.

    In order to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will need to find the total tongue weight (TTW) of your towing setup by adding the tongue weight (TW) of both your loaded ready to tow trailer and any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

  • Is Curt MV Weight Distribution Hitch Good For 5000 lb GVWR Trailer
    Hey Lucas, The Curt MV # C17050 is for total tongue weights between 500 lbs and 600 lbs only (600 lbs isn't actually the minimum), and for a 5,000 lb GVWR camper, the tongue weight is definitely going to exceed what this hitch is capable of. Your tongue weight is going to be in the range of 650 lbs, so instead I'd go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0800. This is for 400 lbs - 800 lbs tongue weights so it'll be perfect for your set up. The Fastway also includes sway control,...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for V-Nose Trailer
    The adjustable height, sway control, and 2-5/16" ball are something you can get on most weight distribution hitches. The main issue for you is the V-nose trailer. This typically limits the installation of a WDH because of the amount of space on the frame. However, with 26" you could use the Fastway system you were looking at. The # FA94-00-1033 is for 600-1,000 lbs of tongue weight so it is a bit much for your setup, instead you will need the # FA94-00-0800. This hitch works for 400-800...

    Hey Charlotte, I would say it's very likely you are going to need a new shank with the Fastway Weight Distribution system part # FA94-00-0800 to allow you to have the amount of drop you'll need since this has a max drop of 3-1/2 inches. The part # FA92-02-4214 can do a drop of 5-1/2 inches and the part # FA92-02-4315 can do a drop of up to 9-3/4 inches. You'd want to measure from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and compare that to the distance from the bottom of the coupler...

When used in the 24" extension length like you are needing it has a 6000lb trailer weight rating, and 600lb tongue weight rating which will be perfect for you as long as your boat does not exceed these ratings.

    If the tongue weight is 660 lbs a system rated for up to 600 lbs tongue weight would not be effective at all and you'd need to go up to the 800 lb setup # FA94-00-0800. This would not be too harsh at all as your tongue weight is within it's range. We also have the trunnion bar version of the part # FA92-00-0800 which will have better ground clearance.

  • Length and Weight of Hitch Head Assembly For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0800
    The head of Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0800 is going to stick out aproximately 14" from the hitch pin center on your truck. This can vary as the head of the mount can pitch differently for different trailers. The head assembly weighs aproximately 40lbs with each Spring Bar # FA94-02-0899 weighing 12lbs and each Bracket # EQ95-01-5600 weighing 8lbs.
