Rated for 1,000 lb tongue weight and a 12,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight, with integrated adjustable sway control and a 2-5\/16 inch ball already in the box. If you tow a big boat trailer to the ramp, this is the upgrade that fixes the squat and the wander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eaz-Lift ReCurve R3 is Camco's weight-distribution hitch for anyone pulling a heavy trailer that pushes the back end of the tow vehicle down and lifts the front. If you tow a big boat to the ramp, you already know the feeling. The rear squats, the headlights point at the trees, and the steering goes light right when you want it planted. This kit fixes that. It's rated for 1,000 pounds of tongue weight and a 12,000 pound maximum gross trailer weight, so it covers a lot of heavier cruisers, cuddy cabins, and loaded tandem-axle trailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what a weight-distribution hitch actually does. Instead of dumping all the trailer's tongue weight straight onto the hitch ball, the spring bars spread that load forward onto the tow vehicle's front axle and back onto the trailer's axles. The result is a tow vehicle that sits level, brakes evenly, and tracks straight down the highway. You get back your steering feel and your headlight aim, and the whole rig stops behaving like a see-saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R3 part of the name is the integrated sway control, and it's the piece that earns its keep on a long tow. Trailer sway comes from crosswinds, passing trucks, and that heavy boat wanting to wag the back of your truck around. The R3's built-in friction sway control fights that motion before it builds into the wobble nobody wants at 65 miles per hour. It's adjustable, so you can dial in more or less resistance depending on your load. And it's quiet. Camco engineered this one to skip the creaking and squealing that plagues a lot of friction sway setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spring bars are top-loading trunnion bars, which sit above the hitch head rather than hanging below it. That buys you extra ground clearance, and if you've ever dragged a hitch on a steep driveway or a rough ramp approach, you'll appreciate every inch of it. The bars install and remove without a lot of fuss once you've got the setup dialed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the box you get the head, the trunnion spring bars, the adjustable shank, and a 2-5\/16 inch hitch ball already included. That last part matters. A lot of kits make you source a ball separately, and the wrong size ball is a bad surprise in the driveway the morning you're trying to leave. This one comes ready for a 2-5\/16 inch coupler, which is the standard on trailers in this weight class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes before you buy. Weight-distribution hitches want an accurate tongue weight measurement to set up right. This kit is happiest with trailers carrying between roughly 801 and 1,200 pounds on the tongue. Too little and the bars are overkill, too much and you're past the rating. So weigh your loaded trailer tongue before you dial it in. And when you're backing down a wet or icy ramp, you can disengage the sway control completely. That's by design. You want the trailer free to articulate when traction is low and you're crawling backward, not fighting a friction bar. For the highway run, snug it back up and let it work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone towing near the upper end of a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's capacity, or anyone whose trailer tongue weight lands in that 800 to 1,200 pound window. If your current setup porpoises over highway expansion joints, wanders in a crosswind, or leaves your truck nose-high, a properly set weight-distribution hitch is the single biggest upgrade you can make to how the rig tows. Match it to your ball mount height, torque the head to spec, and you'll feel the difference on the first on-ramp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1,000 lb tongue weight rating and 12,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight, sized for heavier boats and loaded tandem-axle trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated ReCurve R3 friction sway control fights crosswind and passing-truck sway before it builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable sway resistance so you can tune the setup to your specific load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop-loading trunnion spring bars for extra ground clearance on steep ramps and driveways\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-5\/16 inch hitch ball included, ready for standard trailers in this weight class\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable shank included for dialing in the correct head height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSway control fully disengages for backing down wet or icy ramps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuiet design engineered to skip the creaking and squealing common to friction sway setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistributes tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and the trailer axles for a level, planted ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does a weight-distribution hitch do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt spreads the trailer's tongue weight forward onto the tow vehicle's front axle and back onto the trailer axles instead of dumping it all on the ball.
