Question:

I have a new lightning trailer that sways too much in cross winds. Would a Curt #177332 fix this problem. It is a V-nose with 30# of frame open from the center of the ball to the V. The trailer is 7 wide, 8 high, 18 long, 7000 gvw, 2000 empty Thanks

Expert Reply:

Since the sway happens in cross winds a weight distribution system would be exactly what you would need.

If your loaded tongue weight falls in the range of the # C17332 this would be a great solution. This would be ideal for if your tongue weight falls between 500 and 1,000 lbs. Which your trailer most likely would.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
