Equal-i-zer4-point Sway Control Hitch, 90-00-0600, 6,000 Lbs Trailer Weight Rating, 600 Lbs Tongue Weight Rating, Weight Distribution Kit Includes Standard Hitch Shank, Ball NOT Included

The product description for this hitch doesn't make it really clear exactly what you are getting so I'll try to fill in some of the details I would have found important when making this purchase.1. The hitch is complete except for the ball. It comes with a shank, the hitch, and the 1200 lb weight distributing bars. It is shipped in two packages. One of them contains the bars and the other contains the hitch head, shank, and hardware. The shank was perfect for my Tow Vehicle/Trailer combination. I have an F250 4X4 diesel and my trailer is a Keystone Passport 290bh. If you level your trailer parallel to the ground and measure to the top of the ball coupler and then measure from the ground to the top of your receiver opening on your truck this shank can accomodate approximately three to four inches of difference in either direction. (These two measurements should be within 4 inches for this shank to work.)2. The ball that is suggested along with the hitch on Amazon's site works perfectly. It is the Curt Manufacturing 40041 2 5/16" Raw Trailer Ball. If you don't want to get this ball, just make sure the shaft diameter of the ball you get is 1 1/4" and the shaft length is no longer than 2 5/8".3. The ball needs to be torqued to 450 foot pounds. I took mine to a local tire and auto center and they did this for free without an appointment. It took about five minutes. I was willing to pay for this, and even if you do need to pay the cost should not be much.4. On other sites I have seen complaints about the hitch being noisy. I followed the instructions for lubrication and lubricated the sockets on the hitch with bearing grease. I did not lubricate the bars where they make contact with the L bracket. It actually seemed quieter than my old Reese weight distributing hitch with chains and no sway control.5. Setup is easy and the instructions are very clear and concise. You are told what measurements to take and what to do depending on those measurements. Examples are provided as well. In my case, when I followed the instructions, I ened up with a perfectly level camper and a tow vehicle with the correct front wheel well height on the first attempt. I spent plenty of time reading and understanding what I needed to do, but it probably only took about an hour once I started turning wrenches to have a perfectly setup hitch.6. Performance. The hitch performed beautifully. It was a windy day when we towed our camper home from a recent trip and there was no sway. The steering in my truck is a little loose and the truck actually drives better (straighter) with less effort towing the camper with this hitch than it does completely unloaded. Our camper is also 33 feet long and is therefore prone to sway in the conditions we encountered.7. Other possibilities. I chose this hitch because it has a great reputation and is widely recognized as being able to control sway on long trailers like ours. The Reese Dual Cam was also a strong contender and I cannot really comment on it. There were just some reviews that indicated it might be harder to setup with one user even mentioning using feeler gages to get the cams in the perfect position. That reviewer indicated that without being that careful and precise he/she could tell a difference in performance. At any rate, others will likely disagree with that assessment. It did sway me, however.If you're looking for a good weight distributing sway control hitch, my experience says that from a purchasing, setup, and performance perspective you really can't go wrong with this one.

Absolutely fantastic weight distribution hitch. I have a Cummins Nissan Titan XD and tow a 8k trailer. While towing, feels very stable and secure. Straight forward install and configuration. would buy again!

I have a 29' Airstream that weighs about 5000 lbs. Shortly after I purchased it, I pulled it 200 miles home with no prior experience of having pulled something that large and heavy. Absolutely no issues. Zero swaying. I kept the speed relatively low (55 mph to 60 mph) but I could have gone faster if I wanted. So performance-wise, this gets all the stars.Setup and install, however, takes some effort, but not so much that I'd subtract any stars. First is finding a place to torque on the hitch ball. I purchased a 2 5/16 ball separately and the manual says that it should be torqued to 430 ft.lbs. An average homeowner does not have the socket or the torque wrench to do this. Most hitch places will not be able to do this either because it requires a thin-walled socket. There's very little clearance between the bar sockets and the socket has to recess into the hole to torque the nut all the way in. The manual recommends contacting a Equal-i-zer dealer to set up that install and that's what I did. Not all of them will be eager to help you out because the authorized dealers are also RV sales lots and they would much rather sell you the Equal-i-zer hitch at a premium AND charge you to install it. So when you walk in with a hitch already in hand, they're losing out of a couple of very high mark-up sales. I did find an awesome guy at the Bob Ledford's Adventure Motorhomes near Greenville, SC, who torqued it for me free of charge. I was already on my way to pick up the Airstream so if he hadn't helped me out, I don't know what I could have done.The rest of the install is fairly straightforward and it pays to watch the youtube videos and read the manual several times thoroughly.And the racket... First few times you pull with it, the noise level is incredible. It's like the pits of hell opened up right behind your tow vehicle and all the tortured souls are crying out. Creaks, pops, groans, and a few more noises I have never heard before. It's alarming, but it's telling you that it's working. The square bar basically rubs against the L bracket and very reluctantly slides as you make the turns. It makes that noise because it's carrying a lot of the load and it's metal on metal rubbing. When you're going straight, there's no noise but the tension is still there. So if a big semi blows by you or you get hit with a gust of wind and the trailer wants to fishtail, the square bars under tension hold the trailer steady. I can see the engineering behind it and it's damn good.I did some research before I purchased mine and I know that some load distributing hitches have issues with backing up. I'm happy to report that this does not. You do not have to remove the bars before backing up.

Pour tirer la roulotte,très stable et facile à installer

This hitch leveled the truck & trailer & solved the sway issue. It did a better job than I expected & I found the installation rather easy except for the torque on the ball.

Good product.

Works great. Great sway control. Upgraded from a weight distribution only hitch. Huge difference. It is noisy but doesn’t bother me

Best hitch ever hooked up properly and trailer feels like it's not even there I little tweaking to get it right and all is great read the manual people!!
