Title: Installed new weight distribution set up
Post by: Bob Smith on July 28, 2019, 05:02:17 PM

Every since I bought this new truck I have had trouble with my wd set up. Ordered new 2 1/2 “ shank and new hd head set up. Use 1500 lb spring bars as the tongue weight of the pull trailer rv is about 1300 lbs plus the stuff behind the rear axle of the pick up.
Set it up to bring the weight on the front axle of the truck back to the weight before the trailer was hooked up. Drops the rear of the truck about 1.5 inches and tows great. The 2.5 inch shank has a much higher weight rating than the 2 inch which is good when towing the dump trailer. I don’t like the adapter that came with the truck so most all the hitch ball mounts I have are 2.5 inch.

Reese Hd trunnion set up. My original set up is a dual cam straight line. Has the cams the bars ride on for sway control if things get out of hand. Is a great system but takes some time to get set up for proper performance.
