Hitch/WD/Sway Decision...Inputs Please
Hi Team,
I tow a 37 foot Toy hauler TT
1) About 12.5K Trailer weight (all loaded up)
2) TW runs 1500 to 1700 Pounds
Tow Vehicle
1) Ford F250 Diesel, CC, Bilstein shocks, helwig sway bar, and air bags on rear.
2) 2400 Pound Cargo Capacity.
3) Typically do not haul anything in truck except wife and I. tools and such are in the Tow Hauler.
Had towed for a while with a Hensley. But have gotten tired of always trying to keep TW under 1400 pounds (highest rating for a hensley/propride. So I am switching to an new setup that will Handle more TW. Aside from handling more TW, I want to chose components that will (as much as possible) help smooth out the ride in the TV.
So Here it is:
1) Curt 2.5 Inch on the TV. 2500 Pound TW, 20,000 Trailer Weight Capacity
2) Gen-Y Torsion Shank. See discussion in this thread:
Gen-Y Torsion Shank
3) Blue Ox Sway Pro with 2000 bars for WD
4) Installing Tuson Trailer Stability control and Sway control. Links to info:
