Andersen 3303.25/3360.25 Weight Distribution – 2.5″ Shank, 6″ Drop/Rise, 2-5/16″ Ball
The Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch improves towing stability by evenly distributing trailer tongue weight across both the tow vehicle and trailer axles. Unlike traditional weight distribution systems that rely on heavy steel bars and grease fittings, this anti-sway hitch uses Andersen’s patented motion-dampening tension chain system to reduce trailer sway and bounce while delivering a smoother, more controlled ride.
Designed for bumper pull trailers, campers, and travel trailers, the Andersen WD Hitch helps maintain proper weight balance and confident handling in highway, hill, and crosswind conditions.

How the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch Works
The Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch connects to your trailer coupler and tow vehicle receiver using a unique tension chain system instead of heavy spring bars. Once installed, the interconnected chains apply controlled tension that distributes tongue weight evenly across the axles while helping reduce sway and bounce.
The integrated friction cone ball housing dampens motion at the hitch point, improving handling during turns, hills, and windy highway conditions. Unlike traditional weight distribution hitches that rely on rigid steel bars, the Andersen system delivers smoother weight transfer and reduced road shock.
This design provides balanced load distribution while maintaining a cleaner, quieter, and easier-to-maintain towing setup.
