E-trailer has a very informative page that explains how to properly choose/size weight distributing hitch systems. Here's the link.
Whatever size you decide to buy, do understand that unless specifically designed/advertised to do so, WDH systems do NOT serve as/provide sway control, which then must be added on. Too many folks have discovered this the hard way. That part of the equation is also well explained at the linked-to page above.
Are you saying the sway control built-in on some WDH's is not adequate? The Equalizer WDH has sway built in.
Is he talking about that specific brand? Couldn't tell...
I'm just saying that not all WDH hitch systems have built-in sway control. And since the O.P. only asks about weight capacity, I thought it worth mentioning as something to be looked for/at.
I currently have a Pro Series cheapy WDH system. I was wanting to add sway control. Instead of adding a friction bar, I have decided to upgrade to a WDH system with sway built-in. Someone recommended Equal-i-zer brand and it looked promising. I just wasn't sure if I should go 10k,or 12k really.
Now, on another forum everyone is pushing the Anderson No-sway WDH system and I may change my mind to that. :)
