Camco Eaz-Lift Elite 1200lb Weight Distribution Hitch with Height Adjustable Forged Shank (48059)

I have 2001 Tahoe with Autoride and a 6000 lb camper trailer. I’ve towed it several times with a standard receiver, but the last two trips had some scary moments with trailer sway. I also had problems with the rear of the truck sitting too low. I bought this Camco system (along with a Curt 10.5″ rise shank) and used it this past weekend for a trip. What a difference! Now I have to say on the weight distribution, one of the problems of the rear sitting too low was caused by bad autoride air shocks in the back, and once I replaced them with new ones the truck sat much more level with the camper hooked up to it. So, I couldn’t see a difference with the level – except that with the new shank and ball mount that comes with the hitch system, it does naturally sit higher. However, the sway control was amazing, although it took some adjustment to get it right. I connected it and started the trip, but noticed I was still swaying, yet it didn’t sway as much as previous trips. I adjusted it 1/4 turn per the instructions, but didn’t notice a real difference. On the return trip it was a windy day and the trailer really started to sway, so I stopped and turned it another 1/4 turn. No change, and I started to wonder if I needed another sway control on the driver’s side (which the instructions say might be necessary on tall or heavy trailers). Stopped again and turned it 1/2 turn, now it worked beautifully! I did not feel it sway anymore, even in strong winds and big trucks passing by. Only problem I had is that one of the sway control lock pins fell out, and all I had to replace it was a couple of tie-wraps, which worked! I’m going to get a few spare pins and keep them in the camper. I’m very glad I got the whole system, it is well built and does not feel cheap at all. It comes complete with the ball mount for the hitch and the ball mount for the sway control, already installed and torqued down. I had to purchase a taller shank but that’s because my camper trailer frame is so high compared to my truck hitch. The shank that comes with it is a 5-1/4 rise and I needed at least 8″. Also, you need a 1-1/8 wrench and/or socket to install the bolts for the hitch – thankfully I had a hitch ball wrench which did the trick.Amazon Prime again pulled through with 2-day shipping, gotta love their service!
