The last time I used my trailer, I decided to try the weight distributing hitch which the previous owner included when I bought the trailer. It hooked up easily enough, although I didn't feel any significant difference pulling the car (my truck is a quite heavy 2500 series) and that hitch doesn't really drop far enough (the QwikLoad deck doesn't reach the road surface).
Unfortunately I don't know how to unhook the weight-distributing bars from the hitch itself, and I don't seem to have any documentation for this part with the other trailer docs.
I have the type which simply slides upwards into holes on the hitch. I heard them click into place, but I don't see any obvious way to deatch them. There is a little metal plate on the front which I'm assuming is related to whatever clicked into place, but they don't appear to be removable or movable.
It's a standard weight-distributing hitch -- I found it all over the web when I tried to search for this info. If you have one, you'll know exactly what I mean. It looks like the photo below, and the bars slide into the holes on either side of the ball.
