Review: Necessary for SUV... valuable for a truck. - If there is a single purchase you must make with a bumper pull camper, it is a weight distribution hitch. It completely changes the game when driving with a reasonably large trailer. The anti-sway bar is a nice add. The fact that it comes as a unit makes it very easy to attach. I gave it four stars on installation because the sway bar does require you to bolt to the frame. This is going to be difficult for some. But once in place, it is very easy to attach. I believe the same company makes one that does not require bolts in the frame for a little more money. So that might be worth it for those who are nervous about drilling through the frame. Not bolting to the frame also allows you to move the hitch to other campers, so that is something to consider. Back on the topic of the weight distribution hitch. I was driving a Ford Expedition, and it completely changes how it handles. Without it, you get a "wag the dog" feel as the front wheels feel like they are ready to lift off the ground. Once you lock this in place (and adjust properly), you get a smooth ride and your front wheels sit comfortably on the ground, even on bumpy roads. One tip for beginners is this, the weight distribution hitch uses clamps for your frame (as opposed to the sway bar that bolts on). The clamp is tightened with a bolt that presses against the frame. You only need tighten that bolt enough to keep it from moving. Your frame will begin to bend if you just keep cranking, so don't do that. You have to remember, the clamp brackets have a continual downward force and will stay strongly in place with the camper attached. One more thing. This system is heavy. This is a good thing. It is solidly made. But if you yourself are smaller framed, you might need a second person to help you install the hitch and stabilizing bars. Otherwise, just consider it like your free weight lifting gym membership while out on vacation :-) All in all, this was an essential purchase for the camper and I am very happy with how well it works and how easy it is to use once you get past the small learning curve. Review: Great Customer Support with quick online responses!! - I have a new RAM1500 Limited with Air suspension that I tow a 30 foot Airstream trailer with. So, I needed to get an equalizer hitch for it. After searching and reading a lot of reviews and forums, I decided on this CURT hitch. So, I ordered and I installed it. Here is what I found: 1. This s a very well made hitch and has clear directions, which is an enormous plus!!! You will also need to reference your vehicle manual for trailer towing to ensure you also cover any requirements that your vehicle has. Since my truck has air suspension, there are VERY specific things you need to do in addition to the instructions provided by CURT. 2. CURT is quick to answer questions and they provide clear answers. 3. You will absolutely need a Torque wrench to install this!!!!! Do NOT just guess!!!!!!! 4. Ensure you follow lubrication instructions!!! If you do, it is easy to use and quiet!! 5. Remember, torsion bars distribute weight onto tow vehicle, ball height adjusts trailer level, and ball angle adjusts torsion bar height above ground for correct torsion. Chain adjustment adjusts degree of weight transfer. I just completed a 1000 mile trip with the trailer and I could not be happier with the hitch! I would recommend it. ## Features - LEVEL TOWING β€” Distributes trailer tongue weight across the tow vehicle and trailer to help level the load, improve control and smooth the ride; includes sway control kit #17200 to help reduce trailer sway. - CONTINUOUS LUBRICATION β€” Integrated grease zerk fittings in the hitch head provide easy access for ongoing lubrication at the spring bar mounts; grease must be applied to the zerks for proper operation. - RELIABLE STRENGTH β€” Fabricated head and forged steel round spring bars deliver heavy-duty towing strength, rated for 10,000-14,000 lb GTW and 1,000-1,400 lb TW, limited by the lowest-rated component. - STANDARD FIT β€” Adjustable 2" shank fits industry-standard 2" receivers and can be flipped for drop or rise; includes a pre-torqued 2-5/16" trailer ball for common travel trailer and camper couplers. - CORROSION-RESISTANT β€” Durable carbide black powder coat helps protect the hitch from the elements; hookup brackets and lift handle make spring bar leveraging and chain-style setup easier at the campsite or driveway. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NB1J0ZQ | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,457 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #2 in Towing Weight Distributing Hitches | | Brand | CURT | | Brand Name | CURT | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,257 Reviews | | Finish Type | Powder Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612314170630 | | Included Components | Round Bar WD Hitch | | Item Highlight | 1,000-1,400 lb Tongue Weight, Lubrication Zerk, Forged Spring Bars, 2" Shank, Pre-Torqued 2-5/16" Ball | | Item Type Name | Up to 14,000 lbs., 2-Inch Shank, 2-5/16-Inch Ball | | Item Weight | 100 pounds | | Manufacturer | Curt Manufacturing | | Manufacturer Part Number | 17063 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty (One-Year Finish, One-Ye | | Material | Carbon Steel | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Model Number | 17063 | | Number of Items | 1 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | BKDK17063 | | UPC | 612314170630 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Trailer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CURT - **Finish Type:** Powder Coated - **Item Weight:** 100 pounds - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Vehicle Service Type:** Trailer ## Images ![CURT 17063 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control, 14,000 lb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ajS1XIgOL.jpg) ![CURT 17063 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control, 14,000 lb - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u+RdIUOYL.jpg) ![CURT 17063 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control, 14,000 lb - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71413FtR3nL.jpg) ![CURT 17063 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control, 14,000 lb - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FbL6wxjHL.jpg) ![CURT 17063 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control, 14,000 lb - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Jahd2wmpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can i replace the ball with a 2" ball?** A: Yes you can put what ever size ball you want too. This is a heavy duty weight distribution bar. High quality and works great. My travel trailer is very heavy and it does its job. **Q: Are installation instruction included with the kit?** A: Yes, instructions are included. I felt the instructions did a decent job on most parts of the install except for setting the height. The instructions refer back to setting the height in step 3, however, step 3 didn't address setting the height. Be very careful not to "waller" out the holes while drilling for the sway control. I wallered out the first hole and it stripped when I tightened it so I had to use a heli coil to repair it. I would buy this hitch again. Hope this helps. **Q: will this work on a 8000 pound rv trailer** A: Yes, I believe its rated to 10000 pounds **Q: Does it come with a breaker bar?** A: It does come with a pipe to tighten the bars ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessary for SUV... valuable for a truck. *by T***Y on May 18, 2022* If there is a single purchase you must make with a bumper pull camper, it is a weight distribution hitch.
