Built around a single pivot point, it eliminates the rattles, noise, and wear common to traditional spring-bar hitches, delivering a noticeably smoother and quieter ride. All setup is performed from the driver's side - simply pump the handle to transfer weight to the front axle and watch the built-in pressure gauge for a consistent, repeatable load every time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Whether you're towing a travel trailer, fifth-wheel adapter setup, or loaded cargo trailer, the Continuum's composite LITEFLEX bars - developed with Hendrickson, the world leader in heavy-duty truck suspension - cover 600 to 1,600 lb tongue weights without swapping bars or making complicated head adjustments. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty and American-made craftsmanship, this hitch is built to inspire confidence mile after mile.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydraulic Weight Distribution System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses an aerospace-grade closed-loop hydraulic system to actively and continuously transfer weight to front axles - no guesswork, no manual bar loading tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Pressure Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a reliable, repeatable reading every time you hitch up, so you always know exactly how much weight is transferred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmediate and Continuous Friction Sway Prevention:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because the bars are always loaded, sway prevention begins the moment you start moving - not after a 2-4 degree trailer swing like many competing systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Pivot Point Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eliminates common rattle points and reduces long-term wear for a quieter, more refined towing experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreset Head Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works for every setup right out of the box - no trial-and-error head adjustments needed for different trailers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHendrickson LITEFLEX Composite Spring Bars:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five times more flexible than steel at the same strength rating, corrosion resistant, and covers 600-1,600 lb tongue weights with a single set of bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDriver-Side Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e All loading and unloading is done from the driver's side - pump to load, twist the needle valve knob to unload smoothly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with 5\" and 6\" Trailer Frames:\u003c\/strong\u003e Also fits 4\" and 7\" frames with optional hardware; underslung coupler variants available for lower-profile hitching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs in approximately 30 minutes using only a 9\/16\" wrench; head angle is preset and bar assembly arrives pre-assembled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backed by B\u0026amp;W's limited lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed and built in the USA by B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReceiver, Coupler \u0026amp; Shank Options - Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2\" Receiver:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common receiver size, compatible with a wide range of full-size trucks and SUVs.

The aerospace-inspired hydraulic system brings industrial-grade reliability to your trailer hitch, with components sourced from the same suppliers who build equipment for commercial aircraft and heavy construction machinery. Setup is fast, repeatable, and done entirely from the driver's side, which means less time wrestling with your hitch and more time on the road.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Because the bars are always loaded during travel, friction sway prevention is immediate and continuous - not delayed by degrees of trailer swing. The composite bars cover the full 600 to 1,600 lb tongue weight range without swaps or adjustments, making this hitch equally at home behind a family camper or a heavily loaded work trailer. Proudly American made by B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches, and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, the Continuum is one of the most capable and well-engineered weight distribution hitches available today.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBall Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-5\/16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTongue Weight Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 - 1,600 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReceiver Sizes Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" and 2-1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoupler Types Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, Underslung\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShank Types Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, Extended, Extended Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Trailer Frame Heights\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" and 6\" standard; 4\" and 7\" with optional hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHydraulic System Test Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40 degrees F to 150 degrees F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Hydraulic Pressure (Relief Valve)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,500 lb (relief valve activates)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstallation Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTool Required for Install\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\/16\" wrench\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican Made\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Guides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/BW_Catalog_2021_WEB_f8416720-7acb-49d3-ac4f-467e7c53cf3d.pdf?v=1793047832\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"B\u0026amp;W Product Catalog\"\u003eB\u0026amp;W Product Catalog\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill the hydraulics leak or fail over time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Continuum uses a closed-loop hydraulic system specifically designed for this application, with components sourced from aerospace and heavy construction industries. There are no o-rings to degrade over time - the needle valve uses metal-on-metal contact for a zero-leak seal. The system has been tested from -40 degrees F to 150 degrees F, and a built-in pressure relief valve prevents you from ever exceeding safe operating pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need a weight distribution hitch?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eMost tow vehicle owner's manuals specify when a weight distribution hitch is required - often for any trailer over 5,000 lb, or when your trailer's gross weight exceeds 50% of your tow vehicle's weight. Other signs you need one: your tow vehicle sags noticeably when you hook up, or you find steering and braking feel impaired while towing. If any of these apply, a weight distribution hitch like the Continuum is an important safety investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat if my load changes between trips?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Continuum's hydraulic design makes mid-trip and between-trip adjustments simple. If you load an ATV, add cargo, or change trailers, just pump the handle a few more times to transfer additional weight to the front axles. There's no need to change spring bars, adjust the head, or add washers - a couple of pumps and a glance at the pressure gauge is all it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow difficult is installation?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eMost installations take 30 minutes or less using only a 9\/16\" wrench. The head angle comes preset, and the bar assembly arrives pre-assembled. Steps include leveling the trailer, setting the ball height, mounting the pump and cylinder to the trailer frame, and pinning the cylinder to the spring bar assembly. No special tools or professional installation required for most setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I back up with the spring bars attached?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes. The Continuum provides more turning clearance than most leading weight distribution hitch brands, so you can back up with the spring bars fully attached.

Most half-ton trucks use a 2\" receiver; many 3\/4-ton and 1-ton trucks use 2-1\/2\". For the shank, choose Standard for most setups, Extended if your vehicle needs more reach between the receiver and ball mount, or Extended Drop if your tow vehicle's receiver sits significantly higher than your trailer coupler. For the coupler, select Underslung only if your trailer's coupler is mounted below the frame rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Hitches","offers":[{"title":"2in \/ Standard \/ Standard","offer_id":57129077997873,"sku":"WDHK4500","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2in \/ Underslung \/ Standard","offer_id":57129078030641,"sku":"WDHK4501","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5in \/ Standard \/ Standard","offer_id":57129078063409,"sku":"WDHK4502","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5in \/ Underslung \/ Standard","offer_id":57129078096177,"sku":"WDHK4503","price":1339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2in \/ Standard \/ Extended","offer_id":57129078128945,"sku":"WDHK4504","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2in \/ Underslung \/ Extended","offer_id":57129078161713,"sku":"WDHK4505","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5in \/ Standard \/ Extended","offer_id":57129078194481,"sku":"WDHK4506","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5in \/ Underslung \/ Extended","offer_id":57129078227249,"sku":"WDHK4507","price":1339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2in \/ Standard \/ Extended Drop","offer_id":57129078260017,"sku":"WDHK4512","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2in \/ Underslung \/ Extended Drop","offer_id":57129078292785,"sku":"WDHK4513","price":1339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5in \/ Standard \/ Extended Drop","offer_id":57129078325553,"sku":"WDHK4514","price":1339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5in \/ Underslung \/ Extended Drop","offer_id":57129078358321,"sku":"WDHK4515","price":1359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/bwtrailerhitches-weight-distribtion-hitch-WDHK4500.png?v=1793047919","url":"https:\/\/omahasportsandgames.com\/products\/b-w-continuum-weight-distribution-hitch-600-1-600-lb-tongue-weight","provider":"Omaha Sports \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
