Can the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mounts Be Used With Weight Distribution Systems
Updated 06/30/2021 | Published 06/29/2021
Question:
Is is possible to use a Weight Distributing Hitch with the Gen-Y Glyder in either height configuration 2inch or 6. We are looking at solutions for a 20-22foot Airstream, 500-550lb tongue, 5000lb GVWR for towing behind an SUV with 7000lb / 700lb tongue SUV for cross country trips. Thanks

Expert Reply:
There would be no way to use the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mounts with a weight distribution system but not to worry, Gen-Y does offer the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shanks like part # GY54FR which have built-in cushioning and are weight distribution compatible.
