Question:
What is the outcome if using a weight distribution hitch that is overrated for your load? New TT TW 325 with Hitch weight approximately 500lbs fully loaded on truck using an old distribution hitch rated for 1000. Thanks for help.

Expert Reply:
Yes, if you use a weight distribution system that is rated too high for the tongue weight of a trailer the ride quality will be incredibly stiff and harsh. You want to ideally pick a system that has a tongue weight range where your tongue weight falls right in the middle.
So an Equal-i-zer kit like the part # EQ37060ET which has a range of 200-600 lbs would be great for your setup that would be around 500 loaded.
