Andersen 3303.3 Weight Distribution – 3″ Shank, 6″ Drop/Rise, 2-5/16″ Ball 16K (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″ frame brackets)

Andersen 3303.3 Weight Distribution – 2-1/2″ Shank, 6″ Drop/Rise, 2-5/16″ Ball 16K (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″ frame brackets)

There is a better way –and this is it! The silent, ‘No-Sway,’ ‘No-Bounce’ Andersen 3303.3 Weight Distribution doesn’t just raise the bar, it sets it! Combining modern materials, technology and innovation, it’s the simplest, quietest, and most advanced weight distribution hitch on the road today. This is a first in the industry giving trailer owners the best anti-sway option AND the only true Motion-Dampening system (anti-bounce) around. Owners can’t believe how smooth and quiet the ride is!

Look at these advantages:

• Unparalleled Sway Control that self-adjusts
• It’s so quiet that you won’t even know it’s there!
• Patented True Motion-Dampening™ system -drastically reduces bounce
• Weighs under 60lbs!!
• 2-5/16″ ball included –no extras to buy
• One pin removal from tow vehicle
• Grease-free system –ball and coupler move as one
• Easy install –no pry bars needed!
• Optional 8″ Drop/Rise Adjustable Rack available (part #3351)
• Doubles as standard ball mount for towing without weight distribution
• The smoothest ride around – owners are saying they can’t believe it!
• No problem backing up –unlike many other weight distribution hitches
• The Andersen 3303.3 is rated at 14,000 lbs GTWR when using a 2″ rack and can handle up to 16,000 lbs when using a 2-1/2″ rack.
• 1,600 lbs tongue weight
• Lifetime Warranty (limited)
• NOTE: Currently the Atwood 88007, 88010, 88555 and 88600 couplers are not compatible with the Andersen WD Hitch (all other Atwood couplers are fine).

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
