Pro Tip: Before you invest in a weight distribution hitch, make sure your cargo is evenly loaded in your trailer to keep the weight balanced. If you still have a hard time even after balancing your tongue weight, a weight distribution hitch should help.
TorkLift has taken virtually all of the effort out of the setup process by including a bottle jack with the Everest weight distribution system.
Just insert the end of one of the spring bars into the specially designed Z-Bar Lifter, and jack it up.
Once the bar is raised to the desired height, slip the proper chain link between the tabs on the chain bracket and install the pin and clip to secure it in place. Release the pressure from the jack, repeat the process on the other side of your trailer, and you're good to tow!
Most weight distribution systems don't give you much latitude in where you install the brackets.
Typically, the length of the spring bars - and the fact that the chains are bolted to the end of them - determines where the brackets will install on your trailer frame because the chains need to hang perpendicular to the frame for the system to work properly. This can make it really hard to install a system if you have something like a tool box, battery box, or other frame-mounted accessory already mounted in the spot where the brackets are supposed to go.
With the Everest, you have a bit more freedom in where you place the mounting brackets on your trailer frame. Let's say you need them to sit closer to your coupler because your tool box is in the way. Just install them where you want, and then slide the adjustable collars along the spring bars until the chains are hanging perpendicular.
As long as the collars are within 8" of the end of the bar, you should be good to go. When you've found the perfect spot, just secure each collar to the spring bar by tightening the integrated hex bolts, and you're all set.
Instead of washers, the Everest has these square spacers that let you adjust the head tilt during installation.
To use them, first mount the head to a TorkLift SuperHitch adjustable shank (TLM9010 or TLM9011 - sold separately) using only the bottom bolt. Then, place the spacers on either side of the head, using the upper hex bolt to hold them in place. The top bolt hole on the system head is shaped like an oval, allowing for a wide range of adjustability. Flip and rotate the spacers to 1 of 3 positions until you've achieved the desired head tilt.
Tech Tip: Make sure that each spacer is snug between the 2 weld stops on the head assembly. It should not rise not above the ball platform.
Your tongue weight is the first thing you need to know when figuring out which weight distribution system you need. Most people think that if they get the highest-rated system possible, it'll be smooth sailing. But actually, this will create a rigid ride and a bouncing trailer. On the other hand, if the system isn't strong enough, it won't be able to distribute the weight properly, making it virtually useless.
Once you know your trailer's tongue weight, add it to the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Then just choose a weight distribution system rated for that combined tongue weight.

Get the most out of your TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum dual-receiver trailer hitch with this heavy-duty weight distribution system. Adjustable collar-style chain brackets and hydraulic assist make setup a snap. Hitch ball and shank sold separately.This product is heavy duty. However, forklift didn’t write a good installation manual. Here are some examples: 1) the instructions have you measure the trailer and tow vehicle but never tell you what to do with the measurements; 2) the instructions tell you to determine the proper angle for the ball and distribution bars, but the manual doesn’t say how to determine this angle; videos on torklift’s website also don’t show the angle needed.
I installed this on a camp trailer and the small jack torklift includes for lifting the bars was too small. It doesn’t have enough lift height to get the bars into position.
All my trailers are work-pigs as are the trucks which tow them. Even though we don't abuse our equipment, if there's a breaking point, we will test those limits. A salute to the manufacturer. Like a "Timex", it just keeps on ticking. We say "Thank-you" For a product that stands the test of time & real work.!!
This seemed like a great hitch system but the weight of it is extreme and the additional components of it also make it super heavy
