Worth every penny!
Curt makes some good products, got this due to getting a new camper definitely an upgrade from my old system, kept my truck and camper leveled and ZERO sway at 65MPH on the highway with 18wheelers passing me, it does pop when turning but that’s normal, easy to use perfect for towing your rig!.

Excellent all in one product!
I've been using this on my 3500 lbs single axle travel trailer for over a year now, and it works awesome. The sway control is a huge help, especially because the single axle trailer would sway a lot while driving. With this system attached, it is so much better, I could not be happier! I keep it lubed up with a few shots of grease here and there, which is easy to do with the lube zerks, and I just use a finger to physically put a little grease on the metal ball detents. It was easy enough to install (took me about an hour) and is higher off the ground than the other chain models. This makes it very easy to get in and out of the driveway without scrapping the ground. With this system, the low spot for ground clearance is the actual part that hooks up into the back of your truck, so if your truck is low on ground clearance from the back, you might have trouble getting in and out of the driveway. For me, this was an all in one awesome purchase (sway control, weight distribution, bobbing control) and I would buy it all over again.The only thing I will say is this looks to be a bit of a lighter duty system than most others. This is fine for me, as my trailer is only 3500 lbs. Keep this in mind before purchasing. If you have a heavy duty trailer, buy a heavy duty system. If you're anywhere close to the 10,000 lbs weight limit it states, go up and get a heavier duty one. This is a good rule of thumb for just about anything with towing. This would also explain why some of these other idiot reviewers broke their systems. That and don't do a 90 degree turn with this on ur rig. If you need to do some crazy maneuvers, just remove the bars and put them back on after (it only takes a couple minutes).UPDATE: It’s 2022 and still going strong. Last year I even sold my single axle 3500 lbs trailer and now have a 6500 lbs double axle trailer. Everything still works like the day I bought it. New trailer is higher off the ground so I flipped the L-bracket and installed myself again. Curt just makes great products.

Great hitch! Makes me feel safer and more confident
Using this on my setup. A 24x8.5 enclosed trailer loaded with a car and toolbox setup. Using a 6.2 at4 to tow. Helped level my truck/trailer with the adjustable shank. The one I have in this picture is 17120. Got caught in a pretty serious storm and really think the sway control helped everything going straight. I also added bags to the truck to help get a little more level

Stops sway! Helps with leveling
Update. I replaced the bent metal diamonds and traveled another 600 miles. No problem this time. I may have not had it torqued tight enough the first time Yikes! So far so good now. Now I just need replacement L brackets for the leveling bars.Well... where to start?Let me just say first that how things have ended up with the system It works and I'm glad I own it.Pros- stops sway in a major way. I just drove almost two thousand miles with this. I tow a Lance bunk house trailer 2185 from the year 2015. It's a decently heavy trailer and it's 26 feet long. There was really little to no sway using this.Cons- Well tips, tricks, and a what you are doing wrong or a how to fix it section is really missing. I know the Curt people have a vast knowledge of setting up these hitches as well as what to do if leveling is off etc. But where can I find that? So... this took me with a friend helping me 4 hours to set up. I have a 2022 Ford F150 with the factory tow package. Getting this system to level my trailer within a couple inches of front of truck rise and back of truck drop was hard. I tried every option and more that the directions had listed. In the end I just had to crank things tight with thr leveling bars. So much so that stuff ended up bent. Yes, you can see in the photos. As well the L brackets on the traiker tongue not only bent bit the steel literally squished and stretched and created valleys and more. Ahhhhh. What am I doing wrong. I followed all the steps and went back through several times making sure each was correct. Also besides leveling it must have not been torqued tight enough? Major steel bending going on. I ordered and paid for a new bolt kit and torqued that bolt down tighter than tight. Drove another 800 Miles and the bending you see in the photos did not happen again. Phew! That was sketchy!So after my trip I messed with the set up again. I still can't get the trailer level with the truck level as well but I'm only a couple inches or so off. Truck still steers fine. I can if the set up is way too tight and being that tight is just too much for the metal. So allowing it down a notch is close and it still rides quite well. This system isn't perfect and really I wonder if a Curt person with major knowledge of the set up would know exactly what I am doing wrong or if it just is what it is. I wish there was more info out there about trouble shooting. But it works and I will keep it, may have to get a few more replacement parts lol.
