very useful for the hitch

The biggest problem was finding a level place to put it. Once we did that, we had very few setup issues. We used it in our caravan on our first trip and noticed a huge difference.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgrades

Weight Distribution Hitch

I installed this on a 2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 (stock height) to tow the 2021 Keystone Shelter R19 This hitch was easy to set up and install. I already had a 2-5/16" ball (not included) and pulled the trailer well. Easy set up with instructions, all delivered on time with no issues.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • ---

Good product for the money.

Husky Round Bar weight distribution hitch worked as expected. I would give it 5 stars but the box looked like it had been opened before and didn't have a lever for the chain clasps. The instructions were good and there are several videos on YouTube detailing how to install the tow bar.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Critical for towing. Very important!

I received a completely destroyed package. Luckily all the parts were there. This is a very powerful weight distribution hitch. They are essential when towing a heavy trailer. They help distribute the weight of your bumper, improve tractor handling and increase safety. Except for the box very happy and satisfied!

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Low repairability

Small details are missing.

I don't know who's to blame. Parcel arrived damaged/opened/returned. Anyway, I'm looking at missing that part. We packed the hitch on Sunday for a hike next weekend. No time to wait for missing pins. The missing screws had to be bought locally. It was just very sad. I expected more after spending so much money. Be sure to follow the instructions in the letter. If they say take the ring spanner, then take the ring spanner.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Appearance

Great system, especially for the price. manual mech.

Wow what a great machine for the price. Although this thing is powerful and heavy. You need to add about 70 pounds of tongue weight. That's probably too much for our little follower on the 3800 GVR, but he made up for it. The installation instructions are rubbish, but if you're a little techy you can figure it out. The actual installation is surprisingly easy, so actually not that difficult. It would be nice if they did a youtube video on how to install because the instructions are so poor.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Hardly ever

Excellent hitch for heavy trailers.

This weight distribution hitch is very easy to install and set up. Read the instructions before installing the hitch. There are a few things to measure before adjusting the spring bar preload. When you hitch a trailer, you can correctly adjust the preload on the spring bar. I have a Dodge Cummins 3/4 short bed truck with a 3500 lb truck trailer. Also, I tow an extended 52" hitch with a 2 axle trailer with a trailer of about 5000 pounds. This hitch aligns the truck and trailer and the truck…

Pros
  • Towing and Winching Accessories
Cons
  • Don't remember

Good luck with your purchase and good product

I bought this for our new TT which is 7000 pounds dry and has a gross weight of 9000 pounds towing the TT with a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. I never understood the science behind installing any of these devices. I know what they do and how they help, I just didn't know the science of measuring the drop and rise of your hitch and the rear of your tractor. The instructions were very clear and I've included some great YouTube videos as well. My first TT was probably a 7000lb GVW and I've never…
