Another question I have is about the rating of the hitch. Is it possible to go to big? Say I only need a 10,000lb weight distribution hitch, but buy a 15,000lb one. Will that make it too stiff and create bounce?
You always want to rate your weight distribution system for the gross tongue weight range you're currently running. This is yet one of many great reasons to invest in a Blue Ox Sway Pro - if you later go up (or down) in trailer size and that forces you into a different gross tongue weight range all you have to do with the Blue Ox is switch out the spring bars, everything else remains the same. :B
Good to know! The tongue weight on the trailer is 880lbs. Is there anything else I need to add? The BXW1500 is Tongue weight: 1,000 lbs - 1,500 lbs, the BXW1000 is Tongue weight: 750 lbs - 1,000 lbs. Would I be ok with the heaver BXW1500 or be looking at the BWX1000?
