Expert Reply:
When using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0600 without the spring bars attached you would want to defer to its weakest component to determine its weight capacity. The head part # FA92-02-1255 and shank part # FA92-02-4100 are both rated at 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 1,200 lbs tongue weight (TW). However, the hitch ball part # EQ91-00-6080 for 2" is rated at 8,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 800 lbs tongue weight (TW) whereas the hitch ball part # EQ91-00-6100 for 2-5/16" is rated at 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 1,000 lbs tongue weight (TW) therefore this will be your limiting factor.
