Andersen No-Sway, No-Bounce Weight Distribution Hitch
The smoot, silent, & simple weight distribution hitch for travel trailers
We didn’t just raise the bar, we eliminated the need for sway bars entirely. The design of the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch eliminates sway and bounce in your trailer.
Weight Distribution Hitch Components
- Grease-free system comes in either a 2" & 2-5/16" ball
- Tongue brackets fit 3", 4", 5", and 6" trailer frames (A-frames, V-frames, & Y frames)
- 4", 6" or 8" Drop/Rise adjustable steel rack
- 2", 2-1/2" or 3" shank/receiver
- Motion Springs & Tension Chains (shock absorbers prevent bouncing similar to traditional weight distribution hitches.)
How It Works: Motion-Dampening Chains & Springs eliminate the need for sway bars
Traditional Weight Distribution Sway Bars
Traditional weight distribution hitches utilize a spring bar system. As the spring bars are lifted, the leverage pushes the tow vehicle’s weight towards the front axle.
Disadvantage: Unnecessary Bounce
However, after going through a dip, the spring bar can act like a diving board—loading and releasing kinetic energy, causing the truck and trailer to continue to bounce.
Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch
The Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch efficiently shifts the tow vehicle’s weight forward towards the front axle (without any lifting).
Advantage: Motion-Dampening Eliminates Bounce
The chains and patented motion-dampening springs resist bounce by pulling at the right-angle to the up and down movement, eliminating unnecessary bounce.
How It Works: Sway control auto-adjusts to tongue load weight
The sway control in the ball housing system self-adjusts to tongue load—meaning the heavier the load the greater the sway control. We recommend at least 300 lbs on the tongue to allow the mechanism to be able to provide anti-sway using the friction material in the housing.
- With the coupler attached to the Tapered Ball, there's no need for grease. The ball connects to anti-sway plate, integrating the motion-dampening chain & spring system.
- The Friction Cone is a brake-like material that works with the tapered ball and ball housing to eliminate sway. The friction between the tapered ball and housing allows the hitch to “self-adjust” according to the tongue weight.
- The Anti-Sway Ball Housing securely holds the tapered ball and friction cone in place. The two holes allow for height adjustment on the adjustment rack

This Anderson weight distribution hitch is fantastic. Easy to install and lighter than old one that uses spring bars for weight distribution.

It came quick and was what I expected.

Light weight easy to install. Trailer pulls better than with bars. Pulled through the Colorado mountains on a windy day did great.

I have a small, lightweight, single-axle toy hauler that used to sway all over the road. After adding the Andersen sway control hitch, it now drives perfectly straight. Highly recommend.

Bought this system for our new truck and camper and it was delivered in 02/27/24. Had it installed in preparation for a trip that we just returned from today, March 30th. This system didn’t work. While we were well within our towing capacity and payload, we did a lot of white knuckle driving due to being pushed around by wind and trucks. I started the return process today only to be advised that the return window closed on 03/27. Really? This is a very short window for this type of product. It’s not like you can wait until the night before to install it. Very unhappy all around..

Once you get the amAnderson hitch set, coupling and decoupling is super fast. I felt far less porpoising and sway with this hitch than traditional WDAS hitches. Once you have it dialed in close, you can micro adjust to get the exact ride and leveling desired.My only regret is that we only got to use it for about 7 months due to trading dor a fifth wheel.

Very happy with this design for a pull RV trailer. I have little experience pulling a trailer before and have a 22'. This hitch allows the trailer not to sway when traveling and also the way the ball turns makes a big difference in turning and backing.
