Weight Distribution Hitches

Weight distribution hitches are essential towing accessories designed to improve the stability and safety of a vehicle and trailer during towing. They work by distributing the weight of the trailer more evenly across both the towing vehicle’s axles and the trailer’s axles, preventing the rear of the towing vehicle from sagging and ensuring that both the front and rear axles share the load. This balanced weight distribution results in better handling, reduced sway, and improved braking performance, making them especially useful for towing larger trailers, RVs, or boats.


These hitches consist of several key components, including a hitch head, spring bars, and a shank, all of which work together to transfer the weight more evenly. The spring bars, often adjustable, apply pressure to the hitch head, which in turn redistributes the load to the front axle of the towing vehicle. This reduces the chances of the vehicle’s rear end squatting under the weight of the trailer, keeping the vehicle more level and ensuring better traction and control. Weight distribution hitches are a must-have for safe and smooth towing, enhancing vehicle stability and minimizing wear on the towing vehicle and trailer.
