What's Included and How to Choose
- Includes a shank and sway-control mounting tabs; sway-control unit and trailer ball sold separately.
- CURT lists a maximum of 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight for this exact MPN. These are system limits, not a tow-vehicle capacity.
- Confirm loaded trailer tongue weight, including cargo behind the tow-vehicle axle, and the receiver's weight-distribution capacity before choosing spring bars.
- Round spring bars use integrated lubrication points for maintenance; follow CURT's installation, setup and torque instructions rather than assuming one height adjustment fits every trailer.
- The correct ball size, coupler capacity and shank adjustment must match the trailer and towing vehicle.
