Questions & Answers

Do you need to disengage it if you want to drive in reverse on your rig?

In most cases it's fine to remove the sway control bar, but if I'm going to make sharp turns in reverse, it's better to remove it. There's a lot of value for the money here. The one I chose and bought was the result of extensive research.

Can you tell me how big the large ball is?

Two and a half and sixteen

On this set up, could you use a ball of two inches?

It is likely you could, but it would be overkill for a trailer that only needs two-inch balls. A warranty of 2 years is included in this There is already a 5/16" ball installed, so it is not necessary to get a 2" ball.

Would it be possible to order a 14000 with a 2 1/2" shank?

It saved me a considerable amount of time
5/5

The product is perfect and does everything it should! I found this to be the best value on the web! I saved hundreds of dollars by buying from Amazon! I am glad I did not go to the RV store! I am buying my first RV for the first time. The first time I set this up was challenging for me because I'm mechanically inclined. It was unclear on a few points in the instructions. There was no way I was paying $550 more than the RV place wanted to. For my hitch to be installed on my truck and trailer, I had to pay $300. Luckily, my friend who has owned RVs for some time stepped up and gave me some assistance! For those using a half-ton truck and a trailer length of more than 26 feet, this hitch makes a lot of sense. I really like this trailer! It barely even squats on my truck and it has the perfect ride height! I like the sway control and the way it tracks on winding roads. I don't have my headlights in the air creating blindness to.

Does what it's supposed to do easily
4/5

The hitch I used to tow a new travel trailer with a new (to me) truck made my first summer vacation a success. A previous trailer I owned provided me with knowledge about weight distributing hitches. As long as they are chosen and installed correctly, they will return all four wheels of the tow vehicle to their original positions. As you can see in the picture, I have a monster of a camper weighing in at 10,500 pounds. This page has been loaded completely. Ten thousand five hundred fifty pounds is the tongue weight. In this case, the hitch did exactly what was expected Make sure all four wheels on the truck are evenly loaded with the weight of the trailer. The program worked without any problems for me when I tried to install It took 45 minutes to install all the components, mostly to read the directions and bolt the sway control ball plate to As soon as that was finished, the software was ready to use right away. My primary concern is that the truck requires assist springs or air bags. Although I would have liked a little more lift from the bars, ultimately the issue rests with the truck itself. In addition to the ease of use, the effect of sway control was equally effective. The length of the trailer plays an important role when towing it. The swaying can turn deadly once it starts, eventually leading to your camper being lost. In spite of the fact that this is the longest trailer I've ever towed, I noticed little to no sway when the control was in place The truck I used for this trip was smaller than usual. If you plan to pull a medium to large camper, I recommend you do this. Because RV dealers will not automatically provide you with all the information you need, you need to do your own research.

The product was simple and effective
5/5

We received it a while ago, but didn't install it until the week before our first trip to the mountains (6/20/19) for the season. Since I have worked as a carpenter for 40 years, I am familiar with tools and materials In general, installations are not a problem. I don't think this one was My first step was to install the sway bar base on the trailer after reading the instructions. Getting the system installed was like eating a cake, and everything else followed. While it seemed simpler than I had imagined, I wanted to be absolutely certain of the end result, regardless of how simple it seemed.
The approximate value. The job was finished in two hours, after measuring what was in front & the back of the truck As per the instructions, I placed the wheels in the wheel wells of my F150. We are very happy with our purchase. Our 22' Keystone Hideout was a complete different experience than our 22' Keystone Hideout, since we were not using an over the road trailer. This can be greatly reduced in cost by having it professionally installed instead of spending significantly more elsewhere. I thank Husky for his help.

The failure of a catastrophic scale
3/5

While we were traveling to Arizona, the cast male receiver which was 2" square broke in half. Based on what I have read, this substance is manufactured There is no doubt in my mind I will purchase another equalizer hitch made in the United States. A tongue weight of 1200 pounds and a towing weight of 12000 pounds. My ultralight camper weighs only 35 pounds- The tongue weighs 850 pounds and the weight is 6800 pounds. When you spend money, you do get what you get.

That's exactly what we were looking for
5/5

An unfortunate incident took place at our beach trailer when we were away. It would appear that the thieves stole just the hitch portion of this set, This was an older model, and this one was an exact match with the exception of the extra bar that we have no idea about The new hitch was mounted on the truck and used to attach the trailer to it. We had to take the trailer off the lot by the end of October. Fortunately, the old frame hook up fit in the new parts, so we didn't have to install that part. Our neighbor helped us hook it up properly, and we were good to go. The old one we used had been incorrectly used. Despite the fact that we had the water tank full and we were driving through high winds for a hundred miles, it traveled well. It is a good idea to get someone who knows stuff to help you if you are brand new to trailer hauling. It is not clear what to do from the instructions.

No matter what, it was always there
5/5

I would like you to read the following The equipment I purchased may save your life. I had said I would buy extra equipment and was now selling it Having a very tough time controlling his 20' trailer as it would get caught in rigs when passing and drift from side to side over 65mph, I bought Husky's 37498 Left and Right Handed Adjustable Sway Control Kit for him. On Friday August 13th 2021, my two sons were involved in a car accident. HUSKY'S 30849 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control has never let them go and I think it was keeping them from going through the retaining wall and into oncoming The good driving and the trailer he bought with breaks has a lot to do with it. With the combination of those two products, my son is capable of staying in control of his truck and trailer at all times. Because of the trailer being locked onto the truck, they had to bring in a heavy wrecker to pull it off. After pulling backwards to untangle the truck and trailer, we spent over 2 hours trying to get them out of their tangle. In order to get the trailer ready for towing, the chains from the products were used to lift it off the ground. In other words, all of these products were fantastic. I love it. The truck and trailer I purchased were worth every penny I paid. I'll be buying another truck and trailer when we get another truck. Thanks for your kind words.

Hitch that is the best I have Hitch has always been a favorite of mine
5/5

The trailer I use to tow my Liberty Max is towing by this vehicle. The hitch is great, I was nervous about towing because I'm a brand new driver, but it was fantastic. When a big event occurs it doesn't affect me at all Occasionally, I see a rig pass me, or the wind gets a little brisk. My purchase of this one was a good decision.

There is no doubt this product is a five star weight distribution and sway control for trailers, and boy, does it work.
