We have three 15,000-lb Blue Ox SwayPro weight distribution systems.

Part # BXW1500 has an adjustable shank that has an 8-inch maximum rise and 2-inch maximum drop.

Part # BXW1506 includes a shank that has a 13-inch maximum rise and 7-inch maximum drop.

Part # BXW1503 has a shank with -inch maximum rise and 2-inch maximum drop, but is an underslung system that is designed for trailers with a lower coupler.

All three systems are rated for 15,000-lbs with tongue weight capacities of 1,500-lbs.

The best way to determine what system will work for you is to know what your total tongue weight is. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully-loaded-ready-to-tow trailer added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You will then want to find a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight range for the system. Getting a system that is too small will be useless, but getting a system that is too big will result in a stiff, uncomfortable experience.

I have attached a link to a helpful article about weight distribution you can check out.

You always need to keep your trailer tires filled to the max cold psi rating. If your current load range G tires have a 110 psi rating then that is what you need to keep them filled to. Tire blowouts are a result of damaging a tire (like hitting…

Yes, you can use wood screws to secure the e-tracks to the plywood walls in your trailer. However, as you mentioned the weight capacity would be less than if you were to attach them to metal beams. The tracks themselves can handle up to 2,000 lbs but…

It depends on how much load you will be applying to the track, what you are holding with it, and how the trailer frame is made. If you can get to the trailer frame, use nuts and bolts to attach through the floor and the metal trailer frame. If you…

If the tires are the same size then that matters more than the ply rating, however, we do recommend running the same exact tires on your trailer as that will give you the best performance and most consistent tread wear. For example, you can…
