Question:

Would you recommend the fastway 0450 over the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW - BLU36FR? Seems like Blue ox is complete package... Thanks for your help!

Helpful Expert Reply:

It will; what is happening is the tongue weight is creating the "V" you mentioned, so you are not towing level, and a weight distribution system is exactly what you need. This will level you out, and for your 330 lb loaded tongue weight, you do have the correct Fastway system:

- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450

The # FA92-00-0450 will correct the "V" and ensure your Jayco is level, and even though you mentioned you didn't have sway on your last trip, this is certainly something that can occur at times. That's particularly true at faster speeds or when the conditions get windy, so the Fastway is going to give you the added benefit of minimizing any of that sway.

The Fastway weight distribution comes with everything you need except the hitch ball, either the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007, or more likely for your lighter trailer, the 2" Hitch Ball # 40038.

And to install the hitch ball, it is also highly recommended you use 1-1/2" 12pt Socket # ALL643210.

Happy to help, and yes, for the total package that includes the hitch ball and is still rated correctly, the TrackPro is a great option: - Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR The # BLU36FR is rated for 200 lbs to 600 lbs of tongue weight, so its right on for your 330 lb tongue weight. It will also be a bit easier to set up because its hitch head already has the correct angle to it (something you have to set up manually on the Fastway). So you won't need anything else at all with this system, and it'll still get you level while also giving you the benefit of sway control for those times you may run into it.
