Is this overkill for a 7700 GVWR trailer that shouldn't have more than 700lb TW? Or will it just be that much better?

I would go with the higher TW also!! That's what I've used on several different size and weight trailers and they all pulled just great!! Best Hitch on the market!! Hands down!!
1410034
If you like your trailer, buy the hitch. Otherwise you are destined for disaster

I would go for it. It is more than you need but will work Great. I should have bought it the first time instead of just the weight distrubutting setup.

You should purchase the correct bars for the trailer. Best to talk to a trailer shop and find out what is right for your application. This is what they recommended for the trailer we purchased. If you go with a larger bar than they recommend the trailer won't tow well. They wanted way too much for it at the dealership so I just got it and put it on. Most important make sure to follow the directions and watch the videos on You Tube.

It will be that much better and if u get something bigger in the future u won't need to get another one. Mine works awesome!!!!

You could use the 800lb bar instead of the 1200. You will get a stiffer ride with the 1200 but it would work just fine. If you ever plan to change to a heavier trailer, it would be beneficial to go with the 1200.

No I have a GMC sierra 1500 max ,pull a 7800lb camper and seems to really make a difference

Bear in mind that I have no idea how heavy you're talking about, but I was able to move a Serro Scotty (1967 version) about 200' in rough terrain. It was not easy but I was trying to do something that the device was not really intended to do. Again, I don't know how much weight you're talking about, so take what I say accordingly. I was impressed by the power of this thing. If you're talking 12" or so on flat, paved terrain, it may do the job. If this is a giant fifth wheel kind of trailer, you cannot do it.

I mounted mine to a 2014 xv crosstrek to the frame and all I have towed is a 10" boat trailer that can't weigh more than 500 lbs in entiritie. Mounting to sheet metal, depending on how thick, you risk bending and even ripping through the sheet metal. You should also take into to consideration emergency breaking with the vehicle you are mounting it to, this adds much more weight by the force of the sudden stop to the joints and hardware of the entire unit

The 6400 has the, Trailer Adaptor Kit (TK 3000) that allows you to place the wheel chock on a trailer. Yes it will support the fatter tire, you can adjust the space and hight for the specific tire. Just follow the manufactures instructions.

it will do the work no problem on lifting your trailer , I have a dutchmen 265bhs with all my goodies in the front storage compartment , it lifts my trailer up real easy , and that's while getting the equalizer bars on , and my drive way is where the truck is parked it's like 6" off the ground and the trailer is 18" , so I have to raise both the trk. and trl. up pretty high to get the bars hooked , Iam really pleased with this jack quick HH-3500 for the price it's better than my brother in-laws atwood lift ( you will not regret gitting it ) well built , and it doesn't lug down as much as the atwood, I hope this puts your mind at rest , feel safe getting I'm glad I did Frank it will do the work no problem on lifting your trailer , I have a dutchmen 265bhs with all my goodies in the front storage compartment , it lifts my trailer up real easy , and that's while getting the equalizer bars on , and my drive way is where the truck is parked it's like 6" off the ground and the trailer is 18" , so I have to raise both the trk. and trl. up pretty high to get the bars hooked , Iam really pleased with this jack quick HH-3500 for the price it's better than my brother in-laws atwood lift ( you will not regret gitting it ) well built , and it doesn't lug down as... » Read More it will do the work no problem on lifting your trailer , I have a dutchmen 265bhs with all my goodies in the front storage compartment , it lifts my trailer up real easy , and that's while getting the equalizer bars on , and my drive way is where the truck is parked it's like 6" off the ground and the trailer is 18" , so I have to raise both the trk. and trl. up pretty high to get the bars hooked , Iam really pleased with this jack quick HH-3500 for the price it's better than my brother in-laws atwood lift ( you will not regret gitting it ) well built , and it doesn't lug down as much as the atwood, I hope this puts your mind at rest , feel safe getting I'm glad I did Frank « Show Less

I believe it is the amount of trailer tongue weight. I have a 30' camper that has a GVW of 10000 lbs. I needed a 1000-1200 lb. trunnion bar. I have no trailer sway at all, great hitch.

To adequately answer your question more information is needed like size and load of trailer and what type of vehicle it is going on, so i can not provide a absolute yes or no but it should take away some sagging in theory. As for the one i put on it lifted my back end about 1.5-2 inches empty and then handle the load better.

Should work with any trailer but remember its specs are Rated up to 10,000 GTW / 1,000 TW. If you plan on exceeding this you need to go with a bigger setup.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I'm not an engineer, so I don't know how "overbuilt" this is and whether it would handle the extra weight. When I was researching this purchase, I remember seeing a few other carriers out there designed to carry heavier bikes. You also want to make sure the hitch on your vehicle is rated to carry that amount of weight. My vehicle's hitch is rated at 500 lbs which is the max of this carrier.

I believe it is tounge weight the 1200 has bigger bars for a heavier trailer.

Bill P. I just back from a 3000 mi. adventure, 09 1500 silverado,pulling a 2500#7x14 single axel trailer with a 1976 Harley FLH. Truck had 900# of gear and total trailer close to 4000#. These Overload springs worked great! Yes, air systems are nice,but for the money you cant get a better deal. I had to monkey around a bit with the set-up but I would start at about half of full tension (full being 1" from truck spring at the U-bolts on overload spring.) see how that works for you. Remember,one-quarter inch in tension is a big ajustment and make sure both springs are the same tension and location on the truck.Worked great ! Bill P.

I towed the recommended 1500lbs with no problems. XV Crosstrek. It actually rode better but Killed my otherwise excellent fuel economy.

Hi James! The 250 maximum weight capacity is for the top tier rack only, as it is sold independently of the trailer. Hope this helps!

If the ground is level enough and the load in the trailer is well balanced, it won't raise the side too high to be safe.Frank is right about needing to put a two-by ramp under the Trailer Aid, but that's no problem.

I installed this airlift on my F250. I tow a FSW3200 weekend Warrior trailer with a GVWR of 13000 lbs with no problem.

I am using a standard receiver that mounts to my under carriage. It was installed at RV shop where I purchased the receiver ( hitch). The platform ? If you mean the Bike carrier I would not load anything close to 500#. I loaded my 91' BMW r100 gs which weighs 480# wet and it was straining to hold it. Let alone when driving. I didnt dare trust it for my classic BMW. It hauls my Honda 650l at 350#+ no problem. I hope that helps
