Installing Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution on V-Nosed Enclosed Trailer

Question:

I have a 24 ft v nosed enclosed trailer. I looked online, Reese setup requires 30inch frame. But I measured out enough frame, but the Reese requires to do the mounts to the top side of trailer frame. Do you have any recommendations? Is there companies that do the mounting the bottom side of frame? Ive attached photos,,, Ill be able to cut thru the diamond plate to get the length. But the trailer floor will remain on the top side. So hope you know of anything mounting to bottom of frame

Since it sounds like the only issue you have is being unable to mount the chain hangers to the top of the frame, you can use the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # RP58305. These replace the chain hangers that come with the # RP66074 and bolt-on to the side of the frame.

Also, I would recommend attempting to install the WDH before cutting through the front of your trailer. It may still be necessary but it is also possible that the bars will be able to clear the nose depending on where it sits.
