I've seen debates about where to grease the hitch. What are the grease points?

Is it safe to reverse with this installed?

Thank you. I'm learning about these things before I get a trailer.

I was trying to install the 10k model today but after coupling the trailer to the hitch ball, the levers were directly under the L brackets and I wasn't able to move them out to the side to get them on top of the L brackets. I didn't see this issue mentioned in the manual or video. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, once I set up everything, before I back up my trailer at my drive way which is sloping down, which means the front of the trailer will be much lower than the back of the trailer, before I back up, shall I dispatch the sway bar off or shall I keep it on the L Pin and remove it after I set up the trailer level at my drive way? Thank you😢

Will the weight of equal-i-zer be added to the tongue weight?

should of used a trailer with more tongue weight!

I have a question.... What if you regularly tow with people in the cab of the truck... IE say a family etc every time you tow... Are you supposed to do this WITHOUT or WITH those extra people in the cab? Because that will change the bias yet again...

Yup did all this trailer still sways.

Do you adjust with the trailer and truck weighed down ready to go camping or empty? I got my specs perfect with truck and trailer unweighted. I was gonna add 1 more washer to compensate for extra weight

Should mention this should be either done with trailer fully loaded for a trip or re adjust prior to one. Nice vid though 😊

Excellent video..... Jus bought a new camper and now my shank hits the apron in my driveway so I need to flip it over. I don't think camping world setup my hitch correctly anyways so I'm gonna start from scratch. TY

I've only had my new equalizer hitch installed for a little over a year and I was just wondering how often do I need to check torque and/or tightness of my hitch ball assembly and hook up brackets on my camper? Is it safe to just tweak the nuts prior to going on a short trip?

I have the same WDH but after settling it up and driving it the front end appears to be higher than it should be how do I go about moving more weight from the trailer forward. I have to raise my truck up high to get the bars on so they are tight and level.

We used to own a Honda Odyssey to pull at its rated 3500lb capacity with a 14’ utility trailer loaded with a 2000lb Polaris Ranger using a Fastway E2 WDH rated for 4500lbs (I believe, it’s been a while), added trailer brakes and brake controller in the van and it made towing a fantastic, stress-free experience. No sway, the front drive wheels were kept in solid contact with the road, etc. Our van got totaled by someone and we moved up to a full sized SUV in prep to buy a camper. Models we are looking at are around 6000-6500lbs unloaded and have GVWRs around 7000-7500 with lengths around 33ft. After our awesome experience with the Fastway E2, I chose the Equalizer without a second thought for our camper and just purchased it to have in time to haul our new camper on it’s maiden voyage. The E2 was amazing at controlling sway. Even when I could feel the side winds pushing the van and grabbing the roof of our ranger like a sail, our van and trailer stayed in line with zero fishtailing. I can’t imagine how much better 4 points of sway control will be. American made products with American steel!

Should there be grease at contact points? Mine came with my trailer and I have no owners manual. My camper is 18” 2800# and my tow vehicle is a 2022 Subaru Outback Onyx. I’m confused about where to even start!

amazing videos and much needed! thank you.

What is that orange thing below the tongue jack where the wheel usually sits? It looks like it tucks away then drops down when adjusting the jack.

Ready to go - ready to tow

I recently purchased the equalizer 4 point hitch. Recently returned from my first trip. Fyi I didn't lubricate the pivoting head and omg was it noisy. Now I see that had a remedy. I had one major problem if you guys can help me with this. After making a left hand turn and straightening up my car would pull to the left. Same thing would happen if I made a right turn. After it would pull right. It made my highway ride extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. Especially when a semi would pass me. It felt like the hitch would never return to a straight line with the trailer. Sort of if the hitch would seize up . Are my bolts over torqued. Do I need to regrease everything. Btw the car has new tires and a fresh alignment. Also when not towing it treks perfectly straight.

Got your hitch in a recent trailer purchase, replaces a competitive model. It works great once got it adjusted for my tow vehicle setup. I can only get my brackets to 25.5" back of the ball with my trailer though

How can I get new stickers for my Eq. 4hitch?

Customer service just emailed me and said 350ftlbs. Can you clarify.

How can I get new labels for the bars after I paint them?

Nice video! I just upgraded to this hitch after running with a Fastway E2. Quick question: For the L bracket install the manual indicates to place them between 27-32 inches from the center of the coupler head, depending on your clearance. What would be your recommended placement distance if there is nothing in the way? Meaning if I have room to place mine anywhere in that recommended range of 27-32 inches should I shoot for the middle of that? Thanks!

I bought a new truck with a 6" lift kit. I purchased from etrailer a new Equalizer drop shank for my new 2 1/2" receiver. I've worked the better part of a day chasing the recommended % for weight distribution. I started at 33%, then 45%, then 100%, then 11%, then back to 50% finally settling on 91%. The truck and trailer look good and I'm within 1/8" to 1/4" of the front wheel well height unloaded versus with distributed load. Is this "good" or should I try to get closer to the 75% optimum?

Your video was great, You guys definitely help me get this adjusted correctly ,Thank you

I just purchased my new hitch which already has the ball pre-installed. Is it safe to assume that it's already been tightened to the proper torque spec and that step is no longer needed?

I just did this with a 2018 quad cab ecodiesel with autolevel air and a 26bhsck (i think it was) and we had the hitch flipped, 1 hole up in the L brackets and 6 washers. The truck was on level ground when i set it in jack mode. when I turned off jack mode the air suspension didnt need to self level and I lost nothing. the trick to this is when you raise the tongue jack, check the front AND REAR heights before turning jack mode off. if front and rear drop dispraportionally, its setup wrong cause the air autolevels unless its over capacity. there is nothing you can do about the 1” rake on ram 1500’s with air but you can setup so the rake is maintained. best towing experiemce ive had in 25yrs. I didnt even have to scale it this time. of the back drops more than the front, theres not enough weight transfer and the air suspension is going to unload your bars. the air suspension should not be auto leveling, its dangerous

Will this hitch system work with lifted trucks?

How can I obtain a set replacement decals? I'm in the process of refurbishing mine as well.

I just bought this setup,am i safe to drive over railroad tracks and other little hills?

Is there anyway I could just pay you guys to help me get my trailer and truck back in alignment? I think overtime, I've lost washers. Initially, 17 yrs ago when I bought the trailer, the sales place set the thing up. But now, three vehicles later and thousands of miles later, it needs help! I would be happy to have help!

I hope you do not sell me a used equalizer hitch that has been repainted.

My front end goes up about 1 1/2 inch, what kind of adjustment would I need.?

Where do I get the 430 ft. lbs. torque wrench,& 1 3/4” box wrench, 1 7/8 socket. I’ve not been able to find these particular tools, no one seems to these sizes?

How many washer is to many?

how can i get a user manual copy for the original 10K model sent to me? my manual is lost and i dont have a computer or printer.

When measuring the trailer to see if it's parallel to the ground, do both sides of the trailer have to be the same? Or just the front and back measurements? I can make set equal height front to back on one side of the trailer but the other side is off. Ground is somewhat flat but not sure how level of ground I need to be on in order to set the trailer parallel.

So I remove the sockets from the hitch head to lubricate them........is that wrong? I just purchased this system and I couldn't even move the sockets with the spring arms in (which seems like a huge issue). My truck also has a suspension leveling system that will counter when I put a trailer on the back so the measurements for weight distribution are never the same. I can't say I'm overly impressed with your product right now.

Just a thought, thinking a bit outside the box… another idea to improve the finish would be the factory applying better paint to your expensive hitch?

If this works on friction, why should it be greased?

When I bought my trailer Camping World installed this hitch and told me it doesn't need to be lubricated. They said the popping, screeching and horrible noises coming from it will be normal. I later looked into this and found out you need to lubricate it which I now do religiously.

I am looking at a 90-00-0600 model . Is there a marking on the hitch that it is a 600# and 6000# weight rating on it? thanks

Thank you! we couldn't figure out how to unhinge our camper and as soon as I saw this we figured it out.

I just received my towing tool in the mail today, and it's a nifty gadget that can do much more than simply calculate weight distribution. Is there documentation available for all of the triangulation functions?

What if the back of the trailer is lower and front of truck is high

I want to see the spring bars installed and removed otherwise you haven't shown me a from scratch install. I'm considering your product as a replacement for a system with heavy bars and don't want to replace it with something as heavy. thanks

I'm confused does it do anything else because it is pricey for laser measuring tool and a target to aim at for consistent readings. From what I can tell you are just doing very simple math: multiplication, division and subtraction. What else am I missing? WD% = [(FW2 - FW3) / (FW2 - FW1)] * 100 Where WD% is weight distribution % FW1 is front wheel measurement before load FW2 is front wheel measurement after load without weight distribution hitch FW3 is front wheel measurement after load with WDH

I was told not to go in reverse when the equalizer bars are engaged. What’s your take on this?
