CURT Weight Distribution Hitch, Weight distributing, load-leveling, sway control

Wherever your work or play takes you

CURT offers custom trailer hitches, electrical products and a complete line of towing accessories to get you there with confidence and enjoy every mile of the journey.

CURT Weight Distribution Hitches

The CURT weight distribution hitch is a specialized towing system that provides improved vehicle and trailer control by leveling the trailer and more evenly distributing its weight across the vehicle's axles. Weight distribution hitches are commonly used on RVs but can also be applied to other large loads.

CURT weight distribution hitches come with a 2 x 2-inch shank and are compatible with class 3, 4 and 5 trailer hitches, including our Xtra Duty and Commercial Duty, as well as some RV trailer hitches. While a weight distribution hitch will increase the gross trailer weight capacity of most trailer hitches, the vehicle's weight carrying capacity must be taken into consideration before towing a heavier trailer.

Advantages of CURT weight distribution

Heavy-duty steel heads
2" x 2" adjustable shank with 2-1/2" option
Trunnion bar and round bar weight distribution hitches available
Forged steel spring bars
Durable black powder coat finish

Increased safety for heavy loads

CURT weight distribution hitches are designed to create a level ride across your tow vehicle and trailer. This is done by equalizing or distributing the tongue weight of the trailer more evenly onto the vehicle’s axles. CURT weight distribution hitches use steel spring bars to pry or lift up on the back end of the vehicle and move more of the trailer’s tongue weight to the front axle and rear trailer axle. While a tow vehicle’s back end might sit several inches lower with a heavy trailer, with a weight distribution hitch properly installed, this height difference is reduced and distributed across the entire vehicle-trailer combination.

Heavy-duty construction and a quality finish

CURT weight distribution hitches feature heavy-duty, cast heads and forged steel spring bars – both of which are highly adjustable to achieve the exact weight distribution necessary. To make sure our weight distribution hitches are worthy of carrying the CURT name, we coat each one in a durable powder coat finish, giving them great resilience to rust and scratches. Our weight distribution hitches are made from quality steel and comprised of expertly engineered components. From the formed hitch head, to the spring bars, to the hookup brackets and even our replacement parts, we invest our utmost quality for your satisfaction.

Multiple options to fit your towing setup

CURT weight distribution hitches come with 2 x 2-inch shanks to fit receiver-style trailer hitches of classes 3, 4 and 5. We also offer replacement weight distribution shanks in both 2 x 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch x 2-1/2-inch. CURT weight-distributing hitches are available in two styles – round bar and trunnion bar – referring to the types of spring bars used by each style. A round bar weight distribution hitch uses round spring bars attached to the underside of the weight distribution hitch head, and a trunnion bar weight distribution hitch uses square bars mounted at the face of the hitch head.

Product Description

The CURT weight distribution hitch is a specialized towing system that provides improved vehicle and trailer control by leveling the trailer and more evenly distributing its tongue weight across the trailer's and vehicle's axles. Weight distribution hitches are commonly used on travel trailers and campers but can also be applied to other large loads. CURT WD hitches come with a 2" x 2" shank and are compatible with class 3, 4 and most 5 trailer hitches, including Xtra Duty and Commercial Duty (2-1/2" replacement WD shank may be required), as well as some RV trailer hitches. While a weight distribution hitch will increase the gross trailer weight capacity of most trailer hitches, the vehicle's weight carrying capacity must be taken into consideration before towing a heavier trailer (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component).This round bar weight distribution hitch features a heavy-duty formed head and round spring bars constructed from forged steel. It offers a gross trailer weight capacity up to 14,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 1,400 lbs. It also includes hook-up brackets, spring bar safety chains and a pin and clip. To protect this hitch from scratching, chipping, rust and UV damage, it also comes with a durable black powder coat finish. A trailer ball must be purchased separately.

Good price, good quality

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

Using it on my GMC Yukon to tow a 30ft 7900lb travel trailer and it works great. Easy to setup and seems to be very good quality. My brother in law works on commercial trailers etc. and recommended CURT as a good quality brand. If you haven't set one of these up before (I hadn't), set aside a good hour or so to get it all adjusted for your trailer. You'll need some big wrenches too, not ones you'd typically have laying around.

I also purchased CURT 40030 2-5/16 In. Diameter Chrome Trailer Ball as the tow ball and Connor Towing 1615290- NEW Stainless Steel 5/8" Receiver Lock for Class III, IV, V to secure it to the car since it's worth a bit of money and the standard pin can be removed easily. It's not going to be theft proof... but it's less of an easy target.

Works great! It comes with the adjustment bar

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Works great! It comes with the adjustment bar. I wasn't sure when I purchased it because it didn't say but it showed 'items typically purchased together' and showed the bar so I wasn't sure. This was very easy to install and very easy to adjust when the need arises. My husband had to pull over and adjust it en route and it took him just a few seconds to get it adjusted.

THIS DOES NOT COME WITH THE 2 5/16 BALL!

It worked great. If you have SUV or truck that hitch is up higher and/or trailer sets lower you will need shank that allows more drop. Ex: 07 Chevy Tahoe w/14' tandom box. Trailer is 17+" at coupler and Tahoe is 23" at ball with stock shank in this kit. My 1st time at this but learning.

Great Product - do be aware of a couple things

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

We are a moving service and run 20 foot enclosed trailers (about 10k pounds when loaded - the capacity of our vans we pull them with). These load levelers really do take about 1,000 pounds off the ball of the trailer hitch and distributes to the rest of the van. The van does not lift up as much, handles better, and brakes better. However - There is some swivel action required at the point this system bolts to the "L" shaped bar that slides into your receiver hitch. There is a bolt looking item that you can put a number of washers. The instructions are not clear on how many washers to insert and how much the bottom adjustment bolt should go in. After using these things for a couple years we just guessed at putting the adjust bolt and amount of washers as about 3 quarters in for the bolt and 5 washers for the plug looking thing. That description may sound funny but wish someone had told me. It will make sense when you see it. I am a big do it yourself-er but had to take this to our trailer dealer and they even needed to call out for help to figure out how to install. Once you do one then it is actually very easy.

-the adjustable shank bar
-the pipe handle
-Bolt 5/8" - 11x1 1/2" long
-Hex bolt 3/4" - 10x5" long (two of them)
-Conical washer 3/4" (four of them)

-Clip for snap up bracket (two of them)

On top of that, the box looks like it had gone through a car wash. It was almost disintegrated and was being held together with packing tape.

Highly disappointed! The company needs to fix this.

What a difference!

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

I amnesia to this kind of hitch, but this thing is great. Easy to setup, instructions are clear, need some grease for the bars. The hitch is pretty heavy and bulky, but makes a huge difference with a heavy trailer and gets the weight off the tongue. My Tahoe is visibly sagging less and drives much better towing now

good hitch, bad packaging and issues with compatiblity of my trailer.

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

Bar came in a very light box. I order one, only half came and the box was taped back together like it fell apart. Sent it back (on amazon's buck) and had another shipped. The second one was complete but the box it was in was destroyed.

I didn't need the wings on this (side holes for stabilizer shocks) and they actually cause problems for my trailer. The tongue on my trailer is short and when I jacknife the trailer too much the wing binds on the frame of the trailer (way before the trailer is close to the bumper. I think I have to cut off the wings (I don't use stabilizer shocks anyway).

I would have rather had an option for no wings.
