Question:
I am trying to figure out the difference in length of the spring bars between your trunion spring bars model 17422 v.s 17333? The tongue on our trailer is 4-6 long. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The spring bars of the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution Systems # C17422 and # C17333 both measure 28-3/8 inches.
The difference between these two weight distribution systems is that # C17422 is equipped with sway control and also comes with a hitch ball. With the # C17333 system there is no sway control device and you will need to purchase a hitch ball separately # A-90.
I have attached a Help Article titled "Common Weight Distribution and Sway Control Questions" for you as well.
