About
DETERMINING THE RIGHT KIT
- Determine the trailer tongue weight. This is the vertical weight of a level trailer directly over the coupler. Tongue weight can be found in the trailer's
manual. A rough calculation is 10% of the gross trailer weight.
- Match the total of your trailer tongue weight and the cargo weight in your towing vehicle as closely as possible to the ratings on the WD kit spring bars.
WHY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION?
- Recommended for vehicles towing weights in excess of 5000 lbs.
- Removes weight from rear axle (fig.1) and distributes across all axles of vehicle and trailer (fig.2).
- Weight distributing hitches apply leverage between the towing vehicle and trailer causing the tongue weight (TW) to be carried by all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer.
Benefits of Weight Distributing
- Level Load
- Better Braking
- Better Handling
- Less Strain on Vehicle
- Greater Towing Capacity
