Will Strait-Line Weight Distribution System Work On A-Frame Trailer With 4 Inch Frame

Updated 08/18/2014 | Published 08/16/2014

Question:

Good morning, Own the straight line weight distribution system. Is it able to be installed on a trailer with a 4inch tall C channel A frame tongue? The installation chart to set up the bars only shows 5 and 6 inch tall frames with a top mount coupler.

You should not have a problem attaching the Strait-Line Weight Distribution on your 4 inch C-channel trailer frame.

Per the installation instructions for part # RP26002, when installing the dual cam sway control, the note says the bottom of the frame plate must contact the bottom of the trailer frame. Some C-channel frames have rounded outside corners which will prevent the frame plate from contacting the frame. if your C-channel frame has rounded corners, you will need to place 1/2 inch flat washers between the outside of the frame and the frame plate. I have attached a drawing that shows the location where these washers need to be added you can check out.

I have attached the installation instructions for a Strait-Line Weight Distribution System, part # RP66073, you can check out to make sure you install all of the components correctly.
