• Recommended Weight Distribution System for Aluminum Frame 10,000 lb Trailer
  When choosing a weight distribution system, you want to go off the total tongue weight. 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...

• Does the Titan Ball Mount # 45123 Have the Same Weight Capacity when Used in the Rise Position
  The Titan Ball Mount you referenced, part # 45123 can certainly be used in the rise position. The ball mount has a 3-1/2 inch rise, and has the same 12000 lb towing/ 1200 lb tongue weight capacity when used in the rise position. This ball mount requires a trailer ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank like the # A-90 2 inch ball or the # 63836 2-5/16 inch ball. This ball mount is not compatible with the Ford Super Duty OEM 2-1/2 inch receiver.

• Availability of 2-5/16 Hitch Ball with 14K Tow Rating and 1-1/4 Diameter Shank
  The closest thing that we have is the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 906b which you could use with the Curt Reducer Bushing for Ball Mounts # F-2. This would only get you to 10,000 lbs max towing capacity though. If you let me know what you are towing and what you're towing it with (including the type of ball mount being used) I can see if we happen to have any alternative options for your application. Otherwise you can use a chrome-plated hitch ball like part # 63836 which...

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 8,500 lb Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes
  The 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 an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. Typically tongue weight is 10-15 percent of the total trailer weight. At your total trailer weight of 8,500 lbs you will most likely have a tongue weight range of 850-1,275...

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 pulling a 26 ft 4900 lb trailer
  Based on the numbers you gave me it would not be required that you use a weight distribution hitch on your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500, but it would greatly improve the ride of your towing setup and overall towing experience by leveling out your vehicle and trailer, increasing your steering, brake performance, increasing traction and decreasing sway. If you are planning on using the trailer frequently a weight distribution system would be a good investment, especially since it would decrease the...

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Trailer with 1,500 lbs Tongue Weight
  For a weight distribution system for a tongue weight that is 1,500 lbs when loaded and sometimes 900 lbs you would want the Reese part # RP66131 but you would have to verify that your tongue weight would not exceed 1,500 lbs when loaded. Basically you would be at the edges of this systems range that is 800 to 1,500 lbs. For a shank you would then want the part # RP54970. For either tongue weight you would have to basically set the system up totally different. Easiest way to go between...

• Best Ball Mount for 5-1/2 Inch Rise in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  Since there isn't a ball mount with exactly 5-1/2 inches of rise, you'll need one with 5 inches of rise (being within a half-inch of level is perfectly acceptable), and the best ball mount that will give you 5 inches of rise is easily the Flash Self-Locking, Aluminum Ball Mount # DTLBM9600. The Flash is the best for a number of reasons, starting with its innovative built-on lock so you don't have to purchase one separately. This allows the mount to be secured to your hitch, protecting...

• Weight Distribution System for 2008 Ford F-250 Towing 12,000 lb
  Hitch reducers like the Reese Titan sleeve part # 58102 that you referenced do not reduce the weight capacity of the hitch they are installed in. The only type of hitch size adapter that does reduce capacity are ones that go from a smaller size to a bigger size. You're going to be pretty close to the capacity of your truck so a weight distribution system would be a very good idea. For a weight distribution system rated well for 1,500 lbs of tongue weight the Reese part # RP66075. This...

• Recommended Weight Distribution For A 26 Foot 9,100 Lbs.Trailer With Surge Brakes
  The Reese Trunnion Weight Distribution with Sway Control, # RP66560, will work on your trailer with surge brakes, but it has a Gross Towing Weight capacity of 12,000 lbs. and a is designed for a tongue weight between 600 lbs. to 1,200 lbs. On your trailer with a 9,100 lbs. gross weight capacity, the tongue weight would be 10 to 15 per cent of the gross weight so that would put you at 910 lbs. to 1,365 lbs. tongue weight range. You will want the tongue weight of your trailer to fall within...

• Will a Weight Distribution System Stop My 2005 Nissan Armada Truck From Sagging
  Yes, a weight distribution system will help keep your vehicle from sagging when hooked up. The spring bars of the weight distribution system work to transfer the load from the tongue of the trailer to the vehicle and trailer axles. You will need to properly load your trailer so that the tongue weight is not too high and is within the limits of your towing system. This will also help keep your vehicle level. Generally your tongue weight should be within 10 to 15 percent of your gross trailer...

  The ball mount part # AMSC4HD has a 14k capacity and is designed to fit a 2 inch hitch. This ball mount has a 2-3/4" Rise/ 4" Drop.

• Weight Distribution System for a 2009 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Towing a 14,000 LB 10-inch I-Beam Trailer
  To choose a properly tuned weight distribution system for your trailer you will need to go by the total effective tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the measured tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If your coupler is mounted to the bottom of the 10-inch I-beam, then I recommend the Reese weight distribution system # RP66131. The gross towing weight is...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2006 Four Winds Trailer with 1,000 Pound Tongue Weight
  When choosing a weight distribution system, it is better to err on the side of safety. In this case, it means a higher capacity system. You never want a system with a capacity under what your tongue weight is. So in this case, I would not use a 1,000 pound system as it is not strong enough. I recommend going with a system that is rated 800 to 1,500 pounds. Your dry tongue weight will be right in the middle of this capacity range and it will allow for several hundred more pounds once your...

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Expedition and 8,600 Pound Trailer
  To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up.

A trailer that weighs 8,600 pounds max would have a tongue weight in the neighborhood of 860 to 1,290 pounds not counting anything behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

• Recommended Pole Tongue Adapter And Weight Distribution For 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  You 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...

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2009 Cadillac Escalade Towing 1,200 lb Tongue Weight
  All of the Blue Ox frame brackets are ones that clamp on but I do have a great solution. Reese makes bolt on frame brackets like the part # RP58305 which could be used with their system part # RP66131 which has a tongue weight range of 800 to 1,500 lbs which would be perfect. You'd need a shank part # RP54970 which will work great and then a hitch ball part # 63836.
