Ian my ball weight varies depending on how i load up the boat... runs between 190kg and 200kg.
Had no need of anything other than a plain old tow bar while i had the ST Patrol wagon - but then with how light the ute is and how much longer it is the bloody thing swayed out of control due to the tow ball being so much further from the rear axle..
So a $650 HR system and a couple of modification and its GOLD has saved my arse more than a few times and it will last for ever because you take it from your current vehicle to the next...
.......
Measure from the top of front and rear tyre to the bottom of the guards...
Then hook up trailler and measure again......
Adjust untill you can get it back to the measurement it was without the trailler hooked up.....
That being said near enough will be good enough nothing works perfectly.....
Make a note what number the cams on and never move it they can be a bugger.. and note what number chain you hook it on and repeat each time you tow...
Also use the different height adjustment.......
It not only stops swaying but will help the car
suspension thats the big plus.....
Any probs let me know and i will give you my phone number... also take the whole set up to a HR retailler he can measure the ball weight in a few minutes its difficult to do at home...
good luck you wont regret it if your having towing problems..
I have RSI now must stopppppp tyyypppin
