Thank you for this video. My wife and I have been struggling with how to get the proper amount of chain length on the weight distribution part of the trailer. Your tip about lifting up the trailer with the jack BEFORE installing the chain was very helpful. Thank you.

The only video that confirmed my suspicion that I COULD flip the hitch over. Great job here. Thanks!

Very good video on the step-by-step. A lot of videos don't show or do it. Thanks!

Great video, informative and straight to the point.

Short and to the point. Thank you

Thanks for the technical info, I was close, but now I'm right on.

I had no idea it was that involved, I was just going to hook everything up. LOL am I glad I watched this

Just wanted to say thank you for this video very informative

Concise and to the point, thank you!!

Thanks for the information

Thank You !

Great job! I have a hitch just like that and am getting ready to set it up for a different vehicle. While I’ve used it on several different trailers that were the same height, I’ve never set it up on a new tow vehicle with a much different height. I think I can flip it over and use it again. I appreciate the tips.

THANK YOU

Good info!

Thanks

You spoke of tilting the ball but didn't explain which way or what it did. I would like to know this information so I can better understand the relationship.

Thanks 👍

Need a 2" ball with a shank for 19" truck receiver to 14" trailer coupler (600 LBS). Seems the bars hanging below frames may be kind of low to the ground ...

I just knew the details i need would be missing. I have a 99 Eddie Bauer explorer with its stock tow package which is not a hitch insert setup, the ball is part of the bumper but bumper is part of frame . What do i do?

You used a level to level the trailer prior to starting. I'm guessing that if you have to set up in a location that has a slight slope, you'll have to measure the frame on both ends to be level?

great.

Can you reverse with these or go on uneven ground?

can you put to much weight on the bars? Thanks for the video.

Nice job But I caught one mistake, min 2:15 at least on my husky directions it says to but both cone washers on the upper bolt one on each side. Don't want the ball pulling back in that adjustment channel.

thanks

Is it true that the tension bars should be even/parrallel with the frame once connected? (should not be pointing upwards or downwards, generally speaking.)

Yes

I wouldn't have had the one link in a bind on the trailer bracket like in this video.

you should notice that because the safety pin won't align.

Weight distribution hitches can cause the tongue to be overloaded and collapse . I will not use one again . Instead I will use Airbags or an overload spring.

Can anyone tell me if I can use one of these with an open car trailer?

At 5:13 you have the unused link pinched against the used link in the lift bracket. I always make sure this doesn't happen.

Exactly. You don't want anything to bind. Also how do they expect to get within 1/2" of your original measurement? There's still at least 1k+ lbs of tongue weight

Oh good. I'm not the only one who spotted that pinched link.

Does it have to have a anti sway bar or does that depend on the weight of trailer?

It doesn't have to, you don't need anti sway bar if your vehicle has a anti sway feature.

Now since watching this I’m tempted just to run my Walmart regular hitch 😂 seems like to much work

Yeah, I know it. Being lazy is much easier and safer.

Warning to RV owners ; Your trailer frame is very likely to break under normal usage . I suggest you inspect your frame in the vicinity 4 ft in front of the first Axle and 4 ft behind the last axle as well as the spring shackle welds for cracks . These cracks are caused by sharp turns backing into spots or pulling out of places. All that popping you hear is your frame flexing and breaking. 5th wheel owners the same thing but the transition from Goose to the main part of the trailer breaks . Any deformation or opening of cracks , buckling crushing of the area of the pinbok indicates broken frame members and an immediate repair before major damage occurs .

i never could get my rear before and after measurements within 1/2" of each other

I'm lost

the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more

Narrator talked way too fast. Had to go back and listen again. A couple times.

I'm amazed by how many people have fallen for this snake oil

Having level ground / pavement would be extremely hard to find, so using a level is useless!! Best to just measure from the ground to the frame at the front & rear and get those to measure the same. As for the truck, the bumpers are not the same, so those measurements are useless also! Need to use the lowest part of the body between the bumper & wheel well at the front and rear of the vehicle as measurement points instead.

I dont know what it is but this seems like a giant load of horse shit to me.. how does 2 small bars mounted to the same tow hitch as the original trailer make any difference

it's physics.

Chains aren’t as good as solid metal bracket the chain setup is way worse that solid metal

My hitch is supplemental since I bought a truck that handled the tongue weight without the equalizing hitch to start with. I have the chain version and it seems to work fine.

What's wrong with chains? It can lift 10,000lbs each by eye balling that link size.

Step 1: Don't buy one ! Step 2: If you did, throw it in the bin !! 👍

Or just buy a truck that can really haul your load.
