Question:

Hi - I just bought a 2024 16ft Stealth Enclosed V-Nose Trailer and Im trying to find a weight distribution system for it. My trailer dealer says the normal ones wont fit because ot the V-Nose. I dont want a system that drills holes into the interior of the cargo area. Ive seen some chain hangers that may work with it, but Im not sure. Can you point to a setup that will work on the trailer? Ive already had them attach a sway bar on the right side. Thanks - Ken Wilber

Hey Ken, for your 2024 16' Stealth Enclosed V-Nose trailer I recommend installing the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # RP58305 which can be bolted onto the frame of your trailer and will allow you to then use a chain style WDS like the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # RP66074.

This WDS has a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,200 lbs, has a 12,000 lb weight capacity, and uses a chain style hanger.

You will also need to use a shank # RP69FR and a ball # 19286 to finish the setup.

Hey Bryce - It all sounded great until I measured. The bars are 30" and I don't have 30". I have 29" at best, more like 28". Can the bars be modified? As in shortened?

@KenW They can not Ken, unfortunately. But you can use a shorter bar system like the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Shank # C17332 which has shorter 28 3/8" long bars.

@BryceD - Are these distribution systems returnable? Let's say I buy the 28 3/8 length bar system and they're still too long...can I return it?
