Question:
I’m looking at the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW and had a few questions. I’m currently pulling a 3,000lb camper with a 300lb tongue weight with a 2024 sienna. The hitch is very low even unloaded. Can I use this for a riser instead of for ping down. I really need like 4-5 in off lift. Also can I replace the ball with a 2in?

Hey Chad! What kind of camper do you have? The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR can be used with the shank flipped over in the rise position to get you the height you need. Also yes, you can swap out the hitch ball with the # A-90. Let me know if you need anything else.

I’m got a 2016 forest river flagstaff 625D pop up camper. I notice it recommends 24.5-27.5 to mount the brackets. Best I can do is 28-29 in as there is a big welded plate right in the way. What are my options here.
