Question:
can i tow a trailor with a hitch weight of 600 pounds with a 1 dimple bar on my blu ox system
asked by: Steve F
Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Sway Pro spring bars with one dot or dimple are rated for up to 550 lbs, so I'd recommend replacing the spring bars using the 750 lb rated # BXW4006 if the tongue weight of the loaded trailer is less than 750 lbs (including the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed or cargo area behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle). If the as-towed tongue weight is greater than 750 lbs, use # BXW4007 which are good for 750-1000 lbs of tongue weight.
If you don't know the as-towed tongue weight, I'll link you to a help article that explains how to do this.
