Question:
Thinking my of buying a Blue Ox BXW 2000. I have an ATC trailer with 8” frame members. Can I get the kit with the higher clearance brackets, or have to order them seperate? I see the hitch comes with the normal size brackets. Just wondering total cost for everything I need.

Happy to help Dan, great question!
Since your ATC trailer has 8" tall frame members, you'll need the Clamp-On Lift Brackets for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems for 8" Frames # BLU98FR. They are sold separately and replace the standard lift brackets included with the Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW2000.
What do you typically haul with the ATC?
