A weight-distribution system can improve the ride and handling of both your tow vehicle and your trailer. By applying leverage at your hitch, this system transfers the weight that normally pushes down on your vehicle back onto all the axles of your tow vehicle and trailer, thereby keeping both tow vehicle and trailer level and their weight evenly distributed. When your vehicle and trailer are level, they ride more smoothly and handle better, improving your comfort and safety.

Most weight-distribution systems use metal spring bars to create leverage. These bars are heavy and usually have to be pried into place. In contrast, Andersen's patented True Motion-Dampening weight-distribution hitch uses two bushing-like springs made of urethane. The urethane springs provide a much smaller and lighter way to create the force that is needed to level your tow vehicle and trailer. Moreover, this system is quieter than spring-bar systems because there are no moving metal parts to clank together.

In addition to leveling your tow rig, this system resists bounce and sway. The anti-sway and anti-bounce functions are built right in. Once the system has been installed and adjusted, the urethane springs are under constant tension, pushing the trailer to center. Friction material surrounds the shank of the ball, further resisting motion that causes sway. You won't need to purchase or install separate anti-sway devices. And because the ball and tension plate rotate with the coupler, the system won't bind when you make a turn.

Adjusting the tension of the weight-distribution system is easy. All you have to do is turn the tensioning nuts (1 on each side) with the included wrench.
