Thumbs up The easiest WDH....

Is...the Blue Ox Sway-Pro! By far the best I think and it saved my butt when I had a blowout last Labor Day Weekend coming back from Port Aransas (Corpus Christi TX). About half way between Corpus and San Antonio we suffered a blow out. The tire lost pressure due to the rim and the tire shredded to bits in a nano second at 70+ mph. Although the tire dropped like a rock onto the rim, I never lost control and the trailer tracked straight and true without the slightest bit of sway! We were able to pull off I-37 to the shoulder with no problem. Now besides this, the Sway- Pro is SOOOO easy to hook and unhook and can be done in a matter of seconds. Add to this the selection of different spring bars that are simply interchangeable and a receiver that can be adjusted to the proper level, plus the rotating latches that are very easy to work...and you have a winner. Check the Blue ox out on youtube....

Remember, you get what you pay for! I installed mine myself and it was very easy as well. you just need a few tools and a level surface and 45 minutes. That's it!

I had 5 different WDH's throughout my years of trailers. I'm not sure I could tell a different other then hooking them up. One had an integrated sway controller and I did not have to hook up a sway controller.


I did try a 1,000# WDH I had on the TM, it had a buck board ride from the secondary bounce of the trailer axle.

Currently use a 600# reese.

Thought the weight rating was a max and the actual distribution depended on how tight the bars start out ?
