Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.
Selecting a Weight-Distribution System
The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight-distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.
To determine the proper weight rating for a weight-distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight-distribution system.
Unique Features of Reese Trunnion-Bar Weight Distribution
The easy-to-use, serrated washers on the Reese system make adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This is a huge improvement over the standard pin-and-washer method, which involves piling washers - one on top of another - onto a difficult-to-access pin. The serrated-washer system lets you easily loosen, adjust and tighten a single washer and nut on either side of the head for simple, secure positioning.
The trunnion spring bars of this system slide into the weight-distribution head for quick, easy installation. With a tapered design and hot rolled steel construction, these bars offer superior flex, ensuring a smooth, controlled ride for both your tow vehicle and your trailer. In addition, these specially designed bars have rounded, hooked ends, making them the only kind of spring bars that can function with Reese's active-style, dual-cam sway control (sold separately).

Excellent product and excellent service! I pull a Arctic Fox 32A with a 2010 Chev Silverado 2500 HD with a Duramax. The tongue weight is 1430 pounds. I upgraded from a Husky 12,000 pound hitch to the Reese 17000 pound RP66006 weight distribution hitch, and the RP54977 Shank. There has been a remarkable improvement in the ride, much smoother, and no bouncing. And , it is level. I can't say enough about the great service from Katie D at etrailer

See what our Experts say about this Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
- Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2016 Jayco Jay Flight 34RSBS Travel TrailerFor a dry tongue weight of 1,250 lbs you'd want a higher rated weight distribution system like the Reese Titan part # RP66006 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 lbs to 1,700 lbs. This system is about as easy to install and use as any of them are, but what will really make the install easier is a powered a-frame jack. Reason being when you install a WD system you have to hitch the trailer to the truck's hitch ball and then use the jack to raise the rear suspension of the truck slightly...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for a 2007 Ford F-150 and a 7,580 GVWR TrailerYou were told correctly, you may not need a sway control system. Sway is dependent on a lot of factors including things like trailer length, load arrangement in trailer and road conditions. In any case, I will recommend a weight distribution system that is set up to easily add a sway control system if you decide you want it or it becomes a necessity. Your trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR of 7,580 pounds, meaning that the trailer when fully loaded cannot weight more than...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Weight Distribution on 2011 GMC 2500HD Towing 2008 Dutchman 27 Foot TrailerWhen choosing a weight distribution system you will want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight when loaded and ready to tow and that also includes the weight of any gear loaded behind the rear axle of your 2011 GMC 2500 HD. I am including a link to a FAQ page on weight distribution. With the gross trailer weight rating of your 2008 Dutchman Blackcomb trailer at 8,400 lbs, the tongue weight range of 15 to 20 per cent would be 840 lbs to 1260...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2009 Ford F-450 with 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverWe do have 2 weight distribution systems that will fit a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver like the one on your 2009 Ford F-450. Both are rated for 1,000 to 1,700 pounds tongue weight. When calculating tongue weight you also want to include the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Trailer tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. It seems that your trailer has a higher tongue weight percentage, about 16 percent. With your bike...
view full answer... - Is Weight Distribution and Sway Control Necessary on 2011 Keystone Towed by 2011 Silverado 2500Any time the trailer weighs more than half the weight of the vehicle, we recommend weight distribution. The OEM sway control is similar to a traction control system. The vehicle can sense trailer sway by the movement of the rear of the vehicle. Power is then sent to one wheel or the other in order to combat trailer sway. I do not have any personal experience to be able to say how well it works, and the comments I have heard about it are not definitive one way or the other. My best suggestion...
view full answer... - Chain Hangers for use With Reese Weight DistributionThere are a pair of options when choosing chain hangers for your Reese Titan Weight Distribution System # RP66006. The bolt-on chain hangers are # RP58305, but if you prefer not to drill you can use the clamp-on chain hangers, # RP58306. For snap-up brackets you would want to use the Replacement Lift Brackets with Handle for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # RP6637, or the Replacement Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # 58392.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for a 14K Dump Trailer with 8 Tall I-Beam FrameThe only viable solution for your application is the Reese Titan Weight Distribution (WD) # RP66006. This has a max weight rating of 17,000 lbs with a tongue weight (TW) range of 1,000 lbs - 1,700 lbs so you do need to make sure the loaded TW of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle doesn't exceed this weight. This WD system will fit with your 8" tall I-beam frame but you will need a professional welder to place boxed in areas about 5-1/2" long...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System and Sway Bar for 3 Horse TrailerThanks for all the information and attempt to show me a comparable trailer. I was able to find one online to assist with the visual. For your trailer I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 15K GTW, 1.5K TW # C17422. This is based on the fact you already have the pop up brackets and the weights you mentioned for your trailer. This system already comes with the pre-torqued 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and it comes with the friction sway...

- Can Reese Dual Cam Be Added To Reese Weight Distribution for Grand Design Reflection 315RLTSYes, you can add the Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control for Steel Trailer Frames # RP26002 to your # RP66131 weight distribution hitch. When you added the 1,700 lb spring bars you basically turned it into the # RP66006. Adding the # RP26002 to either of these will turn them into the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control. Since you now have the 1,700 lb spring bars, this will be the same as having the # RP66075 once the dual cams are installed.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Towing a 32 foot Cavalier TrailerThe best way to select a weight distribution system for towing your 32 foot Cavalier travel trailer with your 1998 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton truck is to weigh the trailer when it is fully loaded and ready to tow. When weighing the trailer you will need to determine the gross trailer weight and the gross tongue weight, and add the weight of anything you may need to load behind the rear axle in the bed of your Ram to the tongue weight. Armed with this information you can select a weight distribution...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Trailer with 900 Pounds Tongue WeightFor your trailer with a total tongue weight of 900 pounds (including the weight of the cargo loaded behind the rear axle of the truck) I recommend a weight distribution system rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight # RP66084. Your tongue weight is right in the middle of the range of this system which is exactly where you would want it to be. It comes with dual-cam sway control which prevents trailer sway from starting. The included shank has a max rise of 7 inches and max drop of...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2004 Ford F-250 Crew Cab and Puma 30KFBAir springs are good for trucks that haul a variety of load types and sizes and will allow you to level the bed accordingly. Helper springs or overload types of springs are good for static loads that will not be changing often. But I have a better solution for this issue if the primary need is to level the truck when you tow the trailer. The best solution that will give you additional benefits is to use a weight distribution system. These systems where designed to take the squat out of...

This total tongue weight includes the loaded weight of the trailer tongue that you stated along with any cargo behind the rear axle of the towing vehicle. As long as your frame is not wider than 2-1/2 inches, I have a system that is compatible. I recommend the Reese Titan Weight Distribution w/out Shank - Trunnion Bar - 17,000 lbs GTW, 1,700 lbs TW # RP66006. This system does not have the integrated...
view full answer... - Is Reese Titan Weight Distribution Hitch RP66006 Good For Trailer With Varying WeightsAll weight distribution hitches are rated to level the trailer at the specific ranges they are rated for. So if you have a load that is too light or too heavy for the rating it won't be perfectly level. There is just no way around this, so the best thing to do is get one in the ranges you will be at the majority of the time. You mentioned not always being full, but pretty heavy, so if you are generally in the 1,100 lb to 1,700 lb tongue weight range then a great option is the Reese Titan...

This will be what comes with the Reese Titan Weight Distribution System # RP66006 that is rated up to 1,700 pounds of tongue weight and 17,000 pounds towing.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 9,800 lbThe best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Typically tongue weight is between...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System with 4 Inch of Drop to Tow 9,800 Pound Trailer LevelThere are weight distribution systems for 2 inch receivers that have enough drop to tow your trailer level. For example Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # RP66560 allows for a maximum of 4 inches drop which is exactly what you would need. This system is rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight. Based on a gross trailer weight of 9,800 pounds the trailer tongue weight will be in the neighborhood of 980 to 1,470 pounds. If your actual tongue weight is between 980 and 1,200...
view full answer... - Recommended Pole Tongue Adapter And Weight Distribution For 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500You can use a weight distribution system with your trailer with a pole tongue. You need an adapter part # RP58393. This adapter allows you to attach a weight distribution system. Using this pole tongue adapter does limit your towing capacity to 14,000-lbs and the tongue weight is limited to 1,400-lbs. The weight distribution system I recommend is the Reese Titan, part # RP66006. This is a trunnion bar system and is designed for 2-1/2 inch receiver openings. Since the shank and hitch...
view full answer... - Will the Reese 17K Titan Weight Distribution System Work If Tongue Weight is Over 1,700 LbsThe Reese Titan Weight Distribution System part # RP66006 has a 1,700 lb tongue weight rating. If the total tongue weight which would be the loaded trailer and any cargo behind the rear axle on the tow vehicle is just slightly over this rating then there should not really be any issues. If this is however the unloaded tongue weight or not factoring in cargo then I would advise for a higher rated system. Please note, the above does not come with a shank or hitch ball. I recommend the Equalizer...

view full answer... - Weight Distribution for Dump Trailer with 8 Inch Tall I-Beam FrameI do have a great option for you but a Reese system is not going to be the best choice in this case. You will need to box the trailer frame where the weight distribution brackets will go by having steel plates welded on. What you can use is an Equal-I-zer system, # EQ37120ET as an example, and then add 2 outer link plates, # EQ90-02-5378, sold in quantities of 1, and 2 inner link plates, # EQ90-02-5208, also sold in quantities of 1. That would allow you to use the system on an 8 inch...

It will attach to the Reese Titan Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54976, which fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch. This shank is 15 inches long and has a 5-1/4 inch rise and a 1-1/4 inch drop.

I am extremely happy with the Reese hitch I bought. And, I have to say, the after sales service from etrailer is outstanding. Not many businesses would follow up a year after the sale.
