Can B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook/Hitch Ball # BWTS10056 Be Used as Weight Distribution Hitch
Question:
Would the shank on this set up be able to be use with a weight distribution set up later down the road?

Expert Reply:
The shank portion of the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook/Hitch Ball # BWTS10056 cannot be used as a component of a weight distribution system. B&W designed this adjustable pintle/ball combo hitch to offer the flexibility to tow as both a pintle hook/lunette ring and as a hitch ball, but not to serve as a basis for a weight distribution system. My contact at B&W confirmed.
We do offer a complete range of weight distribution/sway control hitch systems from Blue Ox and other manufacturers. The link provided will take you to our main page where you can select systems for sway control only, weight distribution only or for combination systems. You can use the filters on the page to narrow the results to the type of system you prefer.
I have linked an article on weight distribution that will help you determine the system that is best for you.
I also included one concerning tongue weight, which is the single most important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system. It is critical to know the actual fully-loaded as-towed tongue weight of your trailer in order to choose an appropriately-rated weight distribution system that will deliver the correction needed without causing erratic handling.
