Question:

Do you sell the adapters for a 2 inch x 8 inch frame with the 15000 Blue Ox kit? I don’t need the standard adapters. I have an ATC Toy Hauler trailer with an 8 inch x 2 inch trailer frame.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Blue Ox # BXW1500 Weight Distribution Hitch utilizes clamp-on brackets to tighten the chains at, but as it turns out will not work with larger 8" frames. You will need to use the Blue Ox # BLU98FR Lift Brackets for 8 inch frames.

I reached out to my contact at Blue Ox to see if they had the 1500 kit with the larger brackets included and they did not.

As I recall from your question a few weeks ago, you needed a system to handle 1500 pounds of tongue weight. The Blue Ox # BXW1500 is the only one.

If you need the 2000 pound bars, just start off with the Blue Ox # BXW2000 hitch.
