Thank you for your question, Joe.

The Fastway E2 weight distribution trunnion bar systems don't have a minimum clearance. The trunnion bars are going to give you the most clearance vs the round bar systems.

Do you have a trailer that's super low to the ground and your worried about clearance?

Hi Gwendolyn, Thank you for your reply. Yes I do have a low traveling trailer. the travel height once coupled to the vehicle from the road to the bottom of the A frame is 290mm (11.4 ") Thank you. Joe.

@JoeM A trunnion bar is definitely the way you want to go to get the most out of your clearance. For which one to get, it all depends on what your total tongue weight is. I've linked all the Fastway units using a trunnion bar below for you.
