It sure will Rick and welcome back! The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System item # BW78FR only comes with a 2-5/16" hitch ball but you can swap it out with the 2" Ball for B&W Continuum WD Head item # BW72PR. I wish I had one that I could send out with the 2" hitch ball ready to go, but B&W only ships their shanks setup for a 2-5/16" trailer coupler.

The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System item # BW78FR is designed for A-frame couplers with rail heights between 4" and 7" so it will work with your camper. However, the standard hardware kit included with item # BW78FR is designed to be used on frames 5"-6" tall. The hardware kit you need is only carried by B&W. Their custom service chat on their website is amazing and they'll be able to get you set up.

Please note that the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System item # BW78FR requires at least 24" of space on the frame directly behind the coupler.

What kind of camper do you have?

I have a 2026 modern buggy 16. The frame rails are 4 inches tall. It takes a 2 inch ball. My tow vehicle is a 2025 Ford F150 lariat. Do I have to have special bolts for the 4 inch rails and if so, who do I contact?

@RickS That's a nice setup! You'll definitely need to get some new mounting hardware directly from B&W with a 4" tall frame. Their customer service isn't available on weekends but you can contact them tomorrow morning using that chat I referenced.

Hi Kendrick; according to Air Lift the LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs #AL95QF do not fit the TRD Pro models. However, we have had at least two customers successfully install them on the 2023 and 2024. One came back and complained about the impact…

The B&W Continuum #BW78FR and the Reese Strait-Line #RP66083 are both great systems. The B&W Continuum is going to be easier to set up, but as far as sway control goes, I definitely have to give the edge to the Reese Strait-Line. The…

Hey Dan, the B and W Continuum is a really great weight distribution system that will work great for your 2025MTX - T 24. The one you would need is the part #BW53FR since you have an underslung coupler. I know this is one of the more expensive weight…

Hi Mark, It sounds like the tongue weight for your truck's hitch is 940lbs or 9400lbs tow capacity and the trailer's tongue weight is 810lbs or 8,100lbs when towing. If you're using a weight distribution hitch and still experiencing squat…

Hey Edwin! If the listed dry tongue weight is 1,330 lbs you will likely be over the rating of your current SwayPro spring bars. You'll probably be adding 150-200 lbs with the propane and batteries, but that does depend on the number of propane…

That is definitely a feature which worries me about the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System #BW78FR. While there is not a specific measurement I can give you as the bars move up and down depending on the load placed on the bars, B&W…

Answer 7

Hey Mark! The B&W Continuum #BW78FR is great for any setup as long as you're in the 600–1,600 lb tongue weight range of the system. The best part about it is you can set it perfectly for any tongue weight so it won't be over or…
