The Equal-i-zer hitch is the only weight distribution system that integrates 4-point sway control directly into the head -- no friction sway bars, no separate add-ons, no extra setup. One unit levels your rig and kills trailer sway at the same time. Rated for up to 1,000 lb tongue weight and 10,000 lb gross towing weight, this kit ships complete with shank, spring arms, hitch ball, and all hardware so you can be on the road the same day it arrives.
Most tow setups require a weight distribution head plus a separate friction sway control bar. The Equal-i-zer eliminates that second component entirely. Its patented 4-point sway control geometry resists trailer yaw from all four corners of the hitch head, limiting side-to-side movement before it builds into dangerous sway. The result is a shorter, cleaner setup that disconnects faster and stores more easily than a traditional two-part system.
The spring arms transfer tongue weight back to the front axle of the tow vehicle and forward axle of the trailer simultaneously, restoring level ride height and improving steering response, braking distance, and headlight aim -- all of which degrade when a heavy trailer pushes down on the ball mount unassisted.
Integrated into the hitch head -- no friction bars, no separate controller. Resists sway from all four corners simultaneously.
Ships with hitch head, standard shank, hitch ball, spring arms, snap-up lever, hardware, and owner's manual. Ready to install out of the box.
Installs in a standard 2" x 2" weight-distribution-rated receiver using the included hardware. No modifications to truck or trailer frame.
Manufactured domestically and backed by Equal-i-zer's limited lifetime warranty. UPC: 856301002140.
Everything required for a complete, road-ready installation is in the box:
The included standard shank fits a 2" x 2" receiver that is rated to handle the tongue weight and gross towing weight of your specific application. Always verify your receiver's rated capacity before towing -- the hitch itself is rated to 1,000 lb tongue weight and 10,000 lb GTW, but the weakest link in the chain (receiver, frame, ball mount) sets the safe limit for the entire system.
The shank offers a 3" drop and a 7" rise from the top of the receiver opening, with a 12" shank length. If your trailer's coupler height requires a different ball-mount height, Equal-i-zer offers alternative shanks (sold separately) to dial in the correct level ride angle.
The Equal-i-zer is designed for owner installation with basic hand tools. Key steps:
The 1,000 lb / 10,000 lb Equal-i-zer is sized for mid-size travel trailers, fifth-wheel-style gooseneck adapters are not applicable here, and bumper-pull trailers whose loaded tongue weight falls between roughly 600 lb and 1,000 lb. Common applications include:
1. Sway Control Brackets:
Rigid trailer attachments work with friction sway control to combat trailer sway. Brackets are height adjustable to control the amount of weight distribution tension on the spring arms.
2. Spring Arms:
The spring arms serve two purposes. When raised onto the sway control brackets they transfer trailer tongue weight evenly to the tow vehicle. They also work with the friction sway control to reduce trailer sway.
3. Downward Pressure:
Downward pressure from trailer tongue increases friction sway control.
4. Upward Pressure:
Sway control brackets distribute weight by maintaining upward pressure on spring arms. The amount of pressure on the spring arms is a factor of trailer tongue weight and vehicle suspension. The friction sway control utilizes this pressure to control trailer sway.
