Mounting weight distribution on channel frame trailer

I'm looking at mounting a weight distributing hitch on a equipment trailer. I believe the frame is 6" channel. Current w.d. setup I have on another trailer is the Reese Dual Cam setup. It uses U bolts to mount to the frame which happens to be tube. I've never mounted a setup on a channel frame before. I just read the directions for mounting the ubolt setup and the drill and bolt setup for the Dual cam hp setup. Is it possible to use the ubolt setup on a channel frame trailer, or should I step up to the dual cam hp setup and do some drilling? I'm running 1200 lbs trunnion bars. Thanks, Nick.

Re: Mounting weight distribution on channel frame trailer

No takers huh. Does anyone have the Reese dual cam high performance sway control setup? If so, how do you like it? Is it on a channel frame trailer or tube frame trailer? What was the setup like? Thanks, Nick.
