Add a weight distributing system to provide a more level ride, greater steering and brake control. The differences are in construction materials, welding, manufacturing processes and hook-up. Adjustment is simple because of the easy-to-operate snap-up brackets that allow trunnion spring bar tension to be adjusted by changing links in the support chains. Rather than merely supporting the trailer tongue weight (TW), weight-distributing hitches apply leverage between the towing vehicle and trailer causing the TW to be carried by all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer.
WHY CHOOSE REESE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS?
Reese has been the leader in weight distributing systems for more than 60 years. Over those years, much has changed within the industry with tow vehicles and their frames made lighter while the trailers have become heavier. The technology utilized yesterday can no longer be used in today’s world. Reese purchases metals from high quality steel mills with history of performance. Metals are routinely audited by third party labs for chemistry. Reese is proud of their quality manufacturing process, using Inducting heating and forming which allows for tapering bars to improve comfort and performance. Bars are produced for high strength and excellent durability and special processes are employed to remove scale and compression-set high stress surfaces. Spring bars are physically tested for spring rate, maximum strength and fatigue life Hardness testing and microscope analysis ensure a quality heat treat result. This is why Reese offer lifetime warranty.
