Mine works great for controlling bouncing and sway. But, as others have said, it is best for lighter weight trailers with adequate tow vehicles. The strength of the Andersen hitch is not weight distribution, but more sway and bounce control. Results in a very smooth towing experience. The GVWR of my trailer is 5,000 pounds, and I'm usually running around 4400. If you're looking for more weight distribution than you are getting now, I don't know if the Andersen is the best way to go, although I would highly recommend it in some applications.
