Terrible packaging. Expect missing parts.

Came wrapped in tape and pieces of cardboard. Once it was the two boxes it was shipped in. Details were missing. I didn't even have to open the box. The box was out of the question. Just torn cardboard. I called Kurt and they were kind enough to send me the one missing part but they didn't have another replacement part. Otherwise the product is good, new and well finished.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

No Regrets - Weight Distribution Couplers

It takes a little tedious assembly and installation for your car, but I don't think it's any more difficult than any other coupler. This greatly improves car towing and in my opinion the best part is that the preload is adjustable. My camper has a platform at the front that only has gear on it intermittently. When I need more lift, I turn up the drawbar tension and it aligns perfectly.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Unreliable

General weight distribution system

I have been studying weight distribution systems for a while. I've looked at this multiple times on multiple sites. It was nice but too expensive for me. I put it in my favorites and kept watching. The price dropped $90. I bought it then. Weight distribution plus stabilizer. Growing up in Florida near I75, I saw a lot of trailers swaying and wobbling. It costs money to prevent this with your expensive trailer and tractor.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Very expensive

The instructions are not entirely correct.

Well, the instructions say it has 3/4" nuts and bolts to connect the ball joint to the car mount, but that's not entirely accurate. I've tried 3/4 to no avail. BUT Home Depot sells a 27mm socket that fits the screw perfectly but is too small for the screw so I had to use an adjustable wrench which I got from the same Home Depot. The piece that attaches to the pendant to lock the chains is 3/4 so at least it's there. I'm not quite at the point of attaching them to the trailer, so those comments…

Pros
  • Hands-Free Operation
Cons
  • Concise Instructions

Must be! on hitches for weight distribution

Pulled on my 32ft bumper with and without the linkage. Who cares, I just traveled with her from Missouri to Arizona. I'm so glad I decided to buy it before I left. !I have a 3/4 ton truck with no weight distribution that put the truck almost flat but right on top of the overload springs which made it ride pretty hard, once installed it smoothed out the ride a bit. The sway control definitely added to the push/pull effect as the trailers pass you. If you tow a camper with any size bumper hitch…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

NOT ORDER! MISSING HARDWARE

I ordered this a few months before completing my trailer - went to fit it and found all hardware and other parts were missing including several pages of instructions. Photo only shows how it arrived. I hope the manufacturer sends it out ASAP so I can use it on my trip next week! I'm updating after installing update: email manufacturer, they refuse to return it because it was cut off and won't ship the missing parts, so now I've got a bunch of $300 worth of useless parts. I had to purchase…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Don't remember but there was something

Carefully check the contents, I was missing a few important details

The package came with a torn end, it has a large hole with a protruding part of the towbar. loosely packaged and misaligned, and missing a few screws and fasteners that had clearly fallen out of a hole that had been taped more than once. The product looked good and sturdy and seemed well made but I packaged it the best I could and sent it back for a refund and went to my local store to buy the same product for $50 less with installation . Kurt needs to reinforce his packaging when they ship it…

Pros
  • a beautiful thing
Cons
  • there are nuances
