Question:

Im trying to install a weight distribution hitch on my truck/trailer but the A-frameinch on my trailer only has 22 inches of beam exposed. It seems none of they systems work with such a short section available. Any help would be appreciated. Photo attached. Trailer GVWR is 7,000 lbs. Hope you can help.

If you are getting sway issues, I can definitely recommend the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. But from the picture and measurements provided, it does not look like we will have a weight distribution option available.

I would usually suggest a Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System, like the # C17332, but the arms on this, though shorter than typical systems, are still going to be too long.
