Husky 31423 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Bolt-Together Ball Mount/Shank Assembly 1200 Lbs Max Tongue

These stabilizer kits are essential for pulling trailers and campers. The greatly mitigate sway and provides extra stability to the rear axle of the tow vehicle, while also maintaining a parallel cant on the tow vehicle with the ground surface. I've used them for years, when pulling campers and cargo trailers. This one has a tongue weight of about 10k, so you can tow some pretty heft trailers. The box it came in, however, was poorly constructed and was completely held together with about a roll of packing tape. It was in horrendous condition. Parts of the stabilizer bars were sticking out of the box, and the Lift Tube was missing from the package. I'm not sure from whom they acquire their packaging materials, but it leaves a bit to be desired. As it was, one of the kit's parts was missing and I'm in the process of having it replaced. We'll see how that goes with Husky as time progresses.

A must have when towing

I bought this for our new TT that weighs 7k lbs dry and a GVWR of 9k lbs pulling the TT with a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. I never really understand the science behind install of one of these. I know what they do and how they help just didn’t know the science behind measuring drop and rise of your hitch and back end of the tow vehicle. The instructions were very clear and I also supplemented with some great YouTube videos. My 1st TT was probably 7k lbs GVWR and I never used the distribution hitch, just the anti-sway bar, with the same truck. This new TT weighs significantly more and I noticed even with just the anti-sway bar it still swayed some on the back end. I can tell you that you definitely need to know the science and measurements behind the rise and drop of your hitch. My original hitch has a rise to it and while it was noticeable to the naked eye, I came to the conclusion that it is way my new TT was still swaying. The connection was too high. On my new hitch I measure accordingly and before I did a complete hook to the trailer I measured the height of my truck on the back end. After hook up I measured with no bars and it was almost a 4” drop. After installing the weight bars my truck came to to within 1/2” level. I still have yet to take out onto the road but that will be within the next week. I won’t be riding with white knuckles anymore. My only complaint is that this ad prior had shown a real nice pry bar with a rubber grip handle for the mounting brackets but instead I got just a piece of galvanized tubing about 2’ long but it still works. This distribution hitch fits my TT well and falls within the tongue weight and the GVWR of my TT and is also budget friendly.

I installed by myself and it only took a little over an hour. Took my 1500 miles the next day with no problem the complete trip.Side notes: instructions suck, but easy to figure out. YouTube has detailed instructions if you really need them.

Will say this heavy duty and built sturdy. Super fast delivery even during Christmas Holidays, great instructions with procedures calculating proper adjustment. Very heavy in box but packaged well.

The Husky Round Bar Weight Distribution hitch worked as expected. I would give it 5 stars but the box looked like it was opened before and was missing the leverage bar for the chain latches. The instructions were good and there are several youtube videos explaining in detail how to install the hitch.

Doesn't come with assembly instructions. Few different videos on YouTube and you can figure it out. But instructions would be nice. Overall seems like a good product thick steel welds look solid. Shipping couldn't have been cheap so with free prime shipping definitely worth the money. Towing a 4500 lbs *dry weight*

This is a great value
