  • Tongue weight capacity: 1,200 lbs
  • Features trunnion-style spring bars for consistent performance
  • Integrated 4-point sway control system

A compatible shank and properly rated hitch ball must be purchased separately based on your specific towing setup.

Easy ordering, quick delivery. Great job!

I highly recommend this DC Sport strut bar. It was very easy to install, looks pretty cool, and you can't beat the price. Also I noticed a difference in steering as soon as I started driving around. All in all awesome product!

Received quickly and product works well.
