10000 harbor freight hitch up to par???

hello all, i have a 28 foot 2004 blaze'n toy hauler and seems to have a incredible tongue weight.


Toyhaulers are tongue heavy empty to be able to accommodate toys behind the axles. When toys are added the weight on the tongue lessens depending on the weight and placement of the toys in the hauler. Don't guess about weight, get a tongue scale or go to a commercial scale and find out what is the weight and be sure your receiver can handle that weight.


we do not haul toys in it yet but plan to in the next year after its paid off more.

When you add toys it will lessen the tongue weight depending on how much the toys weigh and their placement in the hauler.

i have a 10000 lb harbor freight weight distriution hitch for it but the rig(1997 ford f250 3/4 ton 7.3 diesel) still squats 2 inches at the rear wheel wells with nothing in it.

A two inch squat in a truck is almost nothing to be concerned about. Far more important is the amount of axle loading before and after hitching for both the front and rear axle of the truck. Squat is almost irrevelant. The diesel is heavy and I would be more concerned about adding too much weight to the front axle of the truck. You already have plenty of weight on that axle. The only real way to determine what to do is to follow your manufacture's recommendations, go to the scales and get weighed, and then make adjustments.

i thought these hitches were designed to lift the rear tires of the tow vehicle of sinched up tight of enough??i also have air bags that i use but i thought i would not need them with a weight distribution hitch?

Air bags can complicate the function/results of a weight distribution hitch. As with others previously mentioned I would likely try to use another hitch. Going cheap on the hitch is not a wise move since it performs a very important safety function. It is not about lifting the rear tires, it is about distributing weight both to the TT axles at around 20-25 percent and adding weight back to the front axle of your truck as per the manufacturers suggested and recommended towing guidelines. Why do you want to lift the rear tires?
