Equal-i-zer Hitch 1,400 lb Tongue / 14,000 lb GTW Made in USA Equal-i-zer 90-00-1400 Sway Control Weight Distribution Hitch with Shank

The Equal-i-zer 90-00-1400 is a true two-in-one towing solution that handles weight distribution and sway control simultaneously -- no separate sway bars, no friction devices, no extra hardware. One head, four sway-control contact points, and a 12-inch shank are all included. If you are towing a travel trailer or fifth-wheel-style gooseneck up to 14,000 lbs gross and 1,400 lbs tongue, this is a purpose-built system designed to do it cleanly.

Built-In Sway Control -- No Add-On Bars Required

Most weight distribution systems require a separate friction sway control or a cam-style sway bar bolted alongside the spring bars. The Equal-i-zer eliminates that entirely. Its patented 4-point sway control geometry limits lateral trailer movement at four contact points simultaneously -- two on each spring bar bracket -- so sway is resisted continuously, not just when it has already started.

The result is a tighter, more connected tow that does not require the driver to manually engage or disengage a sway device before backing into a campsite. Unhooking is the same as any standard weight distribution hitch: no extra steps, no tools needed to release the sway control element.

4-Point Sway Control

Integrated geometry resists trailer sway at four simultaneous contact points without friction bars or add-on sway devices.

Two-in-One Design

Weight distribution and sway control are handled by a single head unit -- fewer components, less to install, less to maintain.

Shank Included

The 12-inch shank ships with the kit. Maximum 7-inch rise and 3-inch drop from the top of the 2-inch receiver opening are covered.

Made in USA

Equal-i-zer hitches are manufactured in the United States and backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty.

What Is Included in the Kit

Equal-i-zer ships the 90-00-1400 as a complete ready-to-install kit. You will need to supply a hitch ball and standard hand tools -- everything else is in the box.

  • Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control head assembly
  • 12-inch shank (fits standard 2" x 2" receiver)
  • Two spring bars -- 36 inches long x 1-1/2 inches wide
  • Spring bar lift brackets and hardware
  • Installation hardware and chain retainers
Hitch Ball Not Included: The 90-00-1400 requires a 2-5/16-inch, 14,000 lb rated hitch ball. Equal-i-zer part number 91-00-6140 is the correct ball for this application. Do not use an undersized ball shank or a ball rated below the system's gross towing weight.

Installation Overview

The Equal-i-zer is designed for installation without drilling or tapping the tow vehicle frame. The shank slides into the existing 2-inch receiver tube and is secured with the supplied hardware. Spring bars attach to the head and lift brackets are positioned on the trailer A-frame at the specified distance behind the coupler.

  • No drilling or tapping required
  • Sway-control bracket positioning: 27 to 32 inches back from the center of the coupler
  • Maximum trailer A-frame height at bracket location: 6 inches
  • Set rise or drop using the shank before tightening -- the shank provides up to 7 inches of rise and 3 inches of drop
No Friction Devices to Disengage: Because sway control is built into the hitch geometry rather than a friction device, you do not need to disconnect anything before backing up or making tight turns. The system works in both directions without adjustment.

Ideal Towing Applications

The 90-00-1400 is sized for mid- to large-size travel trailers -- think 28- to 38-foot rigs with loaded tongue weights in the 900 to 1,400 lb range. It is also a strong choice for toy haulers, horse trailers, and loaded cargo trailers in that GTW bracket.

  • Travel trailers up to 14,000 lbs GTW
  • Toy haulers with heavy rear-load payloads
  • Horse and livestock trailers needing consistent sway resistance
  • Cargo and equipment trailers with variable load positions
Receiver Compatibility: This hitch requires a 2-inch x 2-inch receiver on the tow vehicle that is rated to handle the tongue weight and gross towing weight of your specific application. Always confirm your receiver, hitch, and vehicle tow ratings before installing. The weakest rated component in the chain determines your safe towing limit.

Warranty and Country of Origin

Equal-i-zer backs the 90-00-1400 with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The hitch is manufactured in the United States.

Maintenance Tip: Inspect the spring bar tips and lift bracket contact surfaces for wear at each towing season. Apply a light coat of grease to the spring bar socket and head contact points to prevent galling and extend service life. Check all fastener torque after the first 50 miles of towing.

Important Information -- Read Before Purchase and Installation
  • The hitch ball is NOT included. You must supply a 2-5/16-inch hitch ball rated for at least 14,000 lbs GTW. Equal-i-zer part 91-00-6140 is the correct match.
  • Tools are NOT included in the kit.
  • This hitch requires a 2-inch x 2-inch receiver on your tow vehicle. Confirm your receiver is rated for the tongue weight and GTW of your specific trailer before installing.
  • The tow vehicle, receiver hitch, and trailer coupler must each be independently rated to handle the tongue weight and gross towing weight. The lowest-rated component sets your safe towing limit.
  • Maximum trailer A-frame height at the lift bracket location is 6 inches. Trailers with taller frames may not be compatible.
  • Total assembled weight is 109 lbs -- plan for two-person installation or use of a floor jack to manage components safely.
  • Do not exceed the rated tongue weight or GTW. Overloading a weight distribution hitch creates a dangerous towing condition and voids the warranty.
  • Inspect all components for wear, cracks, or corrosion before each towing season and after any hard-braking or sway event.
