![]() Grease free weight distribution hitch.No heavy, ungainly bars to deal with and figure out where to store. Easy, one-pin disconnection of the WDH mechanism from the tow vehicle.This stops dangerous trailer sway from happening. Anti-sway technology uses the tongue weight of the trailer to 'clamp down' on the ball, which is in a friction cone.Andersen's Motion-Dampening™ system uses urethane springs to greatly reduce the tendency of weight distribution hitch equipped trailers to porpoise (bounce) as they go over dips and bumps.No noise - the Andersen chain system is virtually silent (and requires no grease), unlike the traditional weight distribution spring bar used by competitors.Lightweight - entire hitch assembly weighs under 60 pounds.Can use the trailer hitch ball without the weight distribution hitch, so if you have a lighter trailer you need to tow, you don't need to purchase additional towing hardware.Hitch ball included!

You don't have to use the tongue jack excessively if you don't want. The point is, with the Andersen WDH you have choices in how you hitch and unhitch.

However, this does require more use of your tongue jack (called a jockey wheel in the below videos because they are from Down Under), which is one of the negatives we point out with a traditional weight distributing hitch that uses spring arms. The below videos show how you can raise your jack and then use your fingers to loosen and tighten the 1 1/4" nut as needed. This requires you to 'work' against the chain tension, which isn't that big of a deal, but there is an easier way! The key to the 'Andersen way' of doing this is to use the included socket to tighten or loosen the 1 1/4" nut that provides chain tension.
