Weight Distribution Hitches

Weight distribution hitches level the truck and trailer by spreading tongue weight across the axles. Shop the B&W Continuum, which lets you set the weight transfer with a pump handle, in 2 and 2.5 inch shank versions for standard or underslung couplers.

B&W Continuum

Most weight distribution hitches are either loaded or unloaded. On the Continuum, you pump a handle to move as much weight to the front axle as you want, then twist a needle valve knob to let it off again. B&W teamed with Hendrickson on tapered composite spring bars, and one bar set covers 600 to 1,600 lb of tongue weight. The hitch is rated for trailers up to 16,000 lb.

2" or 2.5" shank head units with a 2-5/16" ball.
Versions for standard and underslung couplers.
Load bar units sold on their own.

Most Continuum hitches here cost about $1,070 to $1,340. Read what a weight distribution hitch is and how to set up a weight distribution hitch, or see all towing hitches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a weight distribution hitch?

Many truck makers call for one above a certain trailer weight, so check your owner's manual. It also helps whenever the truck squats or the front feels light with the trailer hooked up.

Does a weight distribution hitch stop sway?

Keeping the rig level helps stability, but not every weight distribution hitch includes sway control, so check the listing. Proper tongue weight, around 10% to 15% of the trailer, matters too.
