Today we are going to take a look at a Reese weight distribution part number RP66155. This
is very common when towing larger sized trailers. What a weight distribution system does is
pull down on the front end of the frame of the trailer to help level out the whole towing
weight. What it does is it shifts weight forward on the frame of the vehicle to balance out
the load, so that the front axle of the vehicle is bearing more weight than it would without
the weight distribution system. 0:25 Along the front end of the trailer frame is
the spring bars. These spring bars pull the load downward on the trailer frame which helps
lift the rear end of the vehicle up and level the whole system out. At the end of the spring
bar, you will have some sort of bracket system. This particular kit includes a sway control
system. We have our bracket set up and it clamps to the side of the trailer frame, the
spring bars sit inside this housing and it is just a cover that goes over
the top. 0:53
