How to choose the right Hayman Reese weight distribution system.

Follow these steps to pick the best Hayman Reese weight distribution hitch:

1.

Use a Ball Weight Scale under the coupling and ensure all of the weight is on the scale. You will need to unwind your jockey wheel to do this. Record the measurement and refer to a ball weight chart to choose an appropriate-sized weight distribution system.

2. Find The Coupling’s Position On The A-frame

Look for it on the bottom, top, or middle of your A-frame.

3. Measure the A-frame Depth

It could be shallow (four inches), mid-sized (five inches), or large (six inches). For a heavy or medium kit, refer to the A-frame size and coupling position to determine whether you require a Standard or Classic Hayman Reese weight distribution hitch kit. Standard kits provide more Aframe clearance, and classic ones offer more ground clearance.
