Question:

I bought a Curt 17057 weight distribution hitch from you. Is there a short bar i can use on this or can I re drill holes and make shorter? trying to use on a v nose trailer.

Hey Craig, I have just the solution you are looking for with the bolt on Curt weight distribution chain hangers part # C17005. You would bolt these to the sides of your trailer frame under the V-nose and you'd be able to use the spring bars of your Curt weight distribution system part # C17057. Since these do not require clearance above the frame like bolt on hangers do this would solve your problem. Worth mentioning is there isn't shorter spring bars available.
