Weight Distribution
Updated 05/06/2024 | Published 05/04/2024
Question:
I have 21 Intech Sol Dawn 2700lbs and 300 TW, my tow vehicle 19 Lexus GX460 with tow package 6600lbs 800lbs hitch. I’m just using Reese friction sway bar, timbren bump stops. Question do I need WDH, I’m just kinda on confuse should I install one or not. I’m just worried, my trailer chassis is made of aluminum. Worried about weight and strength of my A frame. Factory is not saying or recommend to put any WDH on it. What you guys think, thinking of Camco R3 curve. What do you guys recommend
asked by: Manuel F
Expert Reply:
For a trailer with an aluminum frame, the use of weight distribution comes down to the trailer manufacturer, to the strength of the frame, like you said, and its ability to handle the stress of weight distribution. It sounds like they are saying not to use weight distribution with their trailer, so I definitely don't recommend it.
