Equal-i-zer Hitch 1,000 lb / 10,000 lb Made in USA Equal-i-zer 4-Point Sway Control Weight Distribution Hitch -- Part 14-2927

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.

Two-in-One Design: Weight Distribution and Sway Control in a Single Head

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.

4-Point Sway Control

Integrated into the hitch head -- no friction bars, no separate controller. Resists sway from all four corners simultaneously.

Complete Kit -- No Add-Ons

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.

No Drilling or Tapping

Installs in a standard 2" x 2" weight-distribution-rated receiver using the included hardware. No modifications to truck or trailer frame.

Made in the USA

Manufactured domestically and backed by Equal-i-zer's limited lifetime warranty. UPC: 856301002140.

What's Included in the Kit

Everything required for a complete, road-ready installation is in the box:

  • Hitch head with integrated 4-point sway control
  • Standard shank -- 3" drop / 7" rise, 12" shank length
  • Hitch ball (sized for the 10,000 lb GTW rating)
  • Two spring arms -- 36" long x 1-1/2" wide each
  • Snap-up bracket and snap-up lever
  • All mounting and installation hardware
  • Owner's manual
No separate sway bar required. The 4-point design provides sway resistance equal to or greater than a traditional weight distribution head paired with a friction sway control bar -- with fewer parts to connect and disconnect at every stop.

Shank and Receiver Fitment

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.

Sway-control bracket positioning: Position the sway-control bracket 27" to 32" back from the center of the trailer coupler for proper 4-point geometry. This range accommodates most standard A-frame and straight trailer tongues. Maximum trailer frame height (A-frame) for spring-arm engagement: 6".

Installation Overview

The Equal-i-zer is designed for owner installation with basic hand tools. Key steps:

  • Insert shank into receiver and torque the hitch pin hardware to spec.
  • Set the hitch ball height so the trailer rides level front-to-rear when loaded.
  • Attach spring arms to the hitch head and hook them onto the trailer-frame brackets at the 27"--32" position behind the coupler.
  • Use the snap-up lever to tension the spring arms -- no torque wrenches or chain-lift tools needed.
  • Verify tow vehicle returns to near-level ride height; adjust bracket chain holes if needed.
Maintenance tip: Inspect spring-arm pivot points and the snap-up lever mechanism each season. Apply a light coat of grease to the hitch ball and the head's pivot surfaces to reduce wear and ease coupling. Check torque on the shank hitch pin bolt after the first 50 miles of towing with a new installation.

Who This Hitch Is For

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:

  • Travel trailers in the 28'--35' range (loaded weight dependent)
  • Toy haulers and cargo trailers with heavy rear loads
  • Horse trailers and livestock haulers (verify tongue weight when loaded)
  • Large boat trailers where sway is a concern at highway speeds
Need a higher capacity? Equal-i-zer also offers this same 4-point sway control design in 600 lb / 6,000 lb, 1,200 lb / 12,000 lb, and 1,400 lb / 14,000 lb configurations. Match the hitch rating to your loaded tongue weight -- a hitch rated well above your actual tongue weight will not provide optimal spring-arm tension or sway resistance.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing or Towing
  • The tow vehicle's receiver hitch AND frame must be independently rated for the tongue weight and gross towing weight of your loaded trailer. The Equal-i-zer hitch rating does not override a lower-rated receiver or frame.
  • Always confirm your loaded tongue weight with a scale before selecting this or any weight distribution hitch. Tongue weight should typically be 10%--15% of total loaded trailer weight.
  • A 2" x 2" receiver is required -- this hitch will NOT fit a 1-7/8" or 1-1/4" receiver opening.
  • The receiver must be a weight-distribution-capable receiver. Standard "Class III" ball-mount-only receivers may not be rated for the side-loading forces of weight distribution spring arms.
  • Maximum trailer A-frame height for spring-arm engagement is 6". Trailers with taller frames may require a different bracket or adapter.
  • Position the sway-control bracket no closer than 27" and no farther than 32" from the center of the coupler for correct 4-point geometry. Operating outside this range reduces sway control effectiveness.
  • At 109 lbs, the assembled system is heavy. Use a second person or a hitch-assist tool when lifting and inserting the head into the receiver.
  • This hitch is designed for bumper-pull (conventional) trailers only. It is not intended for fifth-wheel or gooseneck applications.
Weight Distribution: Weight distribution is the ability of a hitch to transfer some of the tongue weight of the trailer from the rear axle of the tow vehicle to the front axle of the tow vehicle, and backward to the trailer axles. Without weight distribution the tow vehicle “teeter-totters” on the rear axle of the tow vehicle, and un-weights the front axle. Proper weight distribution transfers weight back to the front steering axle, forcing it back to the ground. Proper weight distribution also adds performance to the integrated sway control feature of your Equal-i-zer hitch. The Equal-i-zer hitch requires a minimum tongue weight of at least 10% of gross trailer weight. This tongue weight gets distributed, and helps generate the friction needed to reduce trailer sway.

Sway Control: Integrated sway control is a built-in, patent pending feature of your Equal-i-zer hitch. Once the spring arms are tensioned, the sway control is in force. Integrated sway control works through the connection between your spring arms and L-brackets, and between the sockets and hitch head. The Equal-i-zer hitch takes advantage of the steel-on-steel friction generated at these points to help reduce trailer sway. This added friction makes it much more difficult for the trailer to sway side-to-side while its being towed, as is usual when you encounter a gust of wind, or passing semi. When set up well and properly adjusted for your load, the Equal-i-zer can noticeably reduce sway.

The Equal-i-zer Engineering Behind The Hitch

Sway Control Hitch

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.

5. Friction sway control:

Friction is enhanced by downward pressure from trailer tongue and upward pressure on spring arms. These opposing pressures come together to create an unequaled sway control system.
