The tongue weight, which is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer, should ideally be\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10-15% of the total trailer weight\u003c\/strong\u003e. For example, a 5,000-pound trailer should have a tongue weight between 500 and 750 pounds. Maintaining this range ensures better steering, improved braking control, and reduced trailer sway, minimizing the risk of accidents. Too little tongue weight can cause the trailer to fishtail, while excessive weight can strain the tow vehicle and compromise handling. Using a tool like the FLASH™ SCALE Ball Mount, with its integrated mechanical scale, allows you to measure and adjust tongue weight effortlessly, ensuring your trailer is properly balanced for a safer, more confident towing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.customtrailerbuilds.com\/products\/dual-lock-pack\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDual Lock Pack\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(part #86-00-3660) specially designed to fit the SCALE, is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.customtrailerbuilds.com\/products\/dual-lock-pack\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHD Dual Lock Pack\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(part #86-00-3685) specially designed to fit the SCALE HD, is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.customtrailerbuilds.com\/products\/receiver-lock\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLocking hitch pins,\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e specially designed to fit Flash ball mounts, are available for purchase.
