Solution for Installing Weight Distribution on Trailer with Frame Clearance Interference
Published 10/12/2016
Question:
Weight distribution: PRO SERIES 49570 Can you provide the length of the snap up brackets and the length of the spring bars for this model. I have very limited available mounting space on my trailer frame and I want to be sure I can mount this without clearance issues. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The length of the spring bars that come with the part # 49570 are right at 31 inches. It sounds like you have a clearance issue above the frame of your trailer that may interfere with the mounting of the frame brackets.
We have a solution for this. You will want the part # RP58305. This bolts the brackets to the side of the trailer frame and since it does not go above the frame rail it would not interfere.
