Question:

I have a E2 weight distribution hitch 1,000 lb max tongue weight. I use my 2015 Toyota Tundra to pull 31 foot travel trailer with an approximate gross loaded weight of 9,000 pounds. Was looking for a suggestion on an anti-rattle device fro the receiver hitch. Thanks,

Expert Reply:

With the amount of spring bar force at work with your E2 weight distribution it is surprising that you are experiencing any type of movement in your hitch. The spring bars should be placing a substantial amount of tension on the shank against the walls of the receiver, thus keeping it firmly in place.

That being said a # RM-061 could be used on the shank of your system and would help reduce movement.
