Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Ford F-150 Towing an Airstream Bambi Trailer  

I have attached a link to our product page of the weight distribution hitches we offer that have a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 lbs. We do not offer any hitches with a 5,000 lb towing capacity. One of the systems I recommend is the Blue Ox…

The first thing I suggest is that you ensure there is a Weight Distribution System being used with the trailer set-up. There may still be need/benefit of suspension enhancement to the truck even after a WDS is installed, but this should be first…

Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 6,000 lbs GTW, 550 lbs TW #BXW0550 has a 7 hole shank where the BXW0550-S has a 9 hole shank. Other than that, the two systems are identical according to my contact at Blue Ox. We carry…

Out of all the weight distribution hitches we offer I personally prefer the Blue Ox SwayPro because it's the easiest to install and use. With your tongue weight being less than 10% of your GVWR you could definitely benefit from loading more in…

The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part #BXW0550 is a great option for a trailer with 500 lbs of tongue weight. It has industry leading sway control as well as weight distributing properties. It can be installed on a pole tongue trailer…

I can help you find a Weight Distribution (WD) system that works for you, but since it looks like you will have a pretty big range of weight capacities it is impossible to use the same WD system without changing out at least the arms. You will want…

We can get your 2019 Viking 17FQS travel trailer with about a 4,280 lb GVWR set up with the right Blue Ox SwayPro, which is simply determined by the tongue weight. Since the tongue weight is going to be somewhere in the range of 10 percent to 12…

The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution #BXW0556 you have is designed for total tongue weights from 350 lbs to 550 lbs, so it won't be effective for you. It will essentially be like you don't have a system on because it is not rated high…
