Video Transcript for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution EQ90-02-1000 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement head for Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems. This replacement weight distribution head fits Equal-i-zer systems rated at 10,000 pounds gross towing weight and 1,000 pounds tongue weight. Mounting hardware, washers and spacer rivet are sold separately. The product is made from a steel construction and it's going to feature a black powder-coated finish to resist rust and corrosion. It's also made in the U.S.A. You can see here it has the connection points for the end of your spring bar.
It goes in there. You line up the holes, you secure in place with the pin and clip. It's got the hole right here for the ball. If we take a measurement of that we can see that it's going to give us a ball hole diameter of 1-1/4. This unit does come with a new set bolt right here which applies pressure to the weight distribution shank. Then the shank sits in here and then this is where your hardware would insert and spacer rivet and spacers or flat washers.
That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement head for the Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems.

Great hitch! I use a Chevy Colorado to tow a 24' Jayco, works great. I also tow the same trailer with a HD 2550 and while it might be overkill I also use this hitch. 564728

Ordered equalizer hitch head thinking it was gunna be bolt on and go. Not exactly the case. The inserts for the distribution bars were powder coats in a fixed position and could not get them to move. Had to remove and grind off all the powder coat and reassemble it back together for it to work properly. Also had to change hardware, soon as you tightened down the supplied nut and bolt even after everything was grinder down the inserts still wouldn't move. So be prepared to spend a couple hours making it right. 432221

After a visit to the trailer dealership and discovery of a long lead time to receive my part, I was able to order/receive my replacement part in a reasonable amount of time from etrailer (Thanks!) Had an issue with the jam bolt and wear on the old head (after lots of miles, and lack of lubrication) decided to replace the head. On this head I'm spending more time cleaning and lubricating before each use and it appears to be helping reduce the amount of wear on the spring bar receivers. Kind of a pain to lubricate wish the manufacture would install grease fittings top and bottom both sides. 336529

- Replacement Weight Distribution Hitch Head for Equal-i-zer System
- Since the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution (WD) friction bars feature a 4-point sway system you will not have to worry about anti-sway bars. We do have a selection of Equal-i-zer WD Replacement Heads that you can choose from you will just need to select the one that corresponds to the weight range of the bars that you have. Here is our selection of Equal-i-zer WD Heads:

view full answer... - Are Spring Bars on Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System Interchangeable?
- You would not be able to simply replace the spring bars on your Equal-i-zer # EQ37060ET weight distribution hitch. Instead you would need to get both the 1,000 lb tongue weight spring bars # EQ90-01-1099 as well as the 1,000 lb head unit # EQ90-02-1000.
view full answer... - Are Sockets From Equal-i-zer Heads Interchangeable?
- I reached out to a representative of Equal-i-zer, who told me that the sockets from the 1,200 lb tongue weight head # EQ90-02-1200 will not fit in a 1,000 lb tongue weight head # EQ90-02-1000 because they are too big. If you need additional sockets for the 1,000 lb tongue weight head you would need replacements # EQ90-03-1000.
view full answer... - Using the Curt WD Shank 17120 along with a WD Head and 2 inch Hitch Ball for a 10K Towing Setup
- The Curt Weight Distribution Shank # 17120 that you referenced will work perfectly with the Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ90-02-1000 and the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 to essentially give you a 10K adjustable ball mount. All 3 components are rated for at least 10,000 lbs and the Equal-i-zer head is compatible with the adjustment holes on the Curd shank and with the Curt hitch ball.

- The Replacement Socket for Equal-i-zer 1,000 Lb Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-03-1000 is larger than the Replacement Socket for Equal-i-zer 600 Lb Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-03-0600 therefore, it cannot be used with the Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-02-0600. If you need to upgrade to the 1,000 lb system from the 600 lb system then you will need the Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-02-1000...
view full answer... - Is an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System Head Compatible with the Gen-Y Hitch # 325-GH-1102
- Most weight distribution systems mount on shanks that are 2" wide and have mounting holes that measure 1-1/4" apart on center.
I spoke with my contact at Gen-Y Hitch who confirmed that the Torsion Weight Distribution Shank for 2-1/2" Hitch # 325-GH-1102 does have the standard width of 2" for the head and mounting holes 1-1/4" apart on center. If you are using a weight distribution head from Equal-i-zer like part # EQ90-02-1000 then they are compatible with each other.
view full answer... - Replacement Shank, Head and Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET
- For your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4100, which has a maximum rise of 7 inches and a maximum drop of 3 inches. For the system head, you will use the Equal-i-zer Replacement Head # EQ90-02-1000. This is designed specifically for the 1,000 pound tongue weight system you have and for the compatible 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you will use # EQ91-00-6100.
I have attached a few short video demonstrations on...
view full answer... - How Much Does the 6,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System Weigh
- The 6,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution (WD) System # EQ37060ET weighs about 10 lbs less than the 10,000 lb System # EQ37100ET. It has a shipping weight of 98 lbs so if you take away about 5 lbs for the shipping cartons that leaves you with about 94 lbs.
If you are concerned about moving it around, the spring bars # EQ90-02-0699 weigh about 14 lbs each, the shank # EQ90-02-4100 weighs about 20 lbs, and the head unit # EQ90-02-1000 weighs about 21 lbs. These are the biggest components...
view full answer... - Installation Instructions For Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems
- The Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems, part # EQ90-02-1000 comes assembled just like it is when you purchase an entire WD system like part # EQ37100ET.
I am attaching the installation instructions for the # EQ37100ET system and you can see how the head is attached and what hardware is used.
view full answer... - Replacement Head for 1,000 lb Tongue Weight Equalizer Weight Distribution System
- Yes, the Equalizer Head part # EQ90-02-1000 that you referenced is the correct replacement head for the 1,000 lb tongue weight system part # EQ37100ET that you have.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Equal-I-zer Spring Bars EQ90-01-1099
- The Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ90-01-1099 are the same as those included in the complete 10K system # EQ37101ET.
I measured these bars with a digital caliper to get you accurate dimensions. The dimensions of the end of these bars that enters the head assembly is 1.35 x 1.35-inches (or 34.5mm x 34.5mm). These fit the head assembly # EQ90-02-1000.
view full answer... - How Much Does the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET Weigh
- The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET that you referenced has a shipping weight of 109 lbs so it is a little hefty like the majority of WD systems out there. If you take away a few pounds for the shipping materials you are left with about 105 lbs. The Spring Bar # EQ90-02-1099 weighs in at about 17 lbs so if you removed both that would be 34 lbs, making the leftover weight 69 lbs.
Keep in mind that there are some other components that you will not be removing at the...
view full answer... - Normal Wear and Tear on an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Head
- I spoke with my representative at Equal-i-zer and the grooves that you see at the top and bottom of the spring bar receiver on the head is normal wear. He also mentioned that keeping the receiver lubricated will help reduce on wear in the future, but not to be immediately alarmed with this type of wear. The head would only need to be replaced if the system is not effectively distributing the weight or controlling trailer sway when it is properly adjusted.
I would first recommend checking...
view full answer... - Can an Equal-I-Zer Head be Used with Fastway Spring Bars
- I believe you have the Fastway version which is a # FA92-00-1000. It is made by Equal-I-zer too. The Fastway and Equal-I-Zer heads are not interchangeable though. If you want to go to a 4-point sway control you would have to switch the whole system to Equal-I-Zer using # EQ37101ET. This is the complete system minus the shank since the shank is the only part that you can reuse.
Keep in mind that for weight distribution the tongue weight would also include the weight of anything loaded...
view full answer... - Can Spring Bars of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System be Changed to Change Rating
- Yes, you can just replace the spring bars and head of your current system to change the weight rating. All you would need is the part # EQ90-01-1099 for a set of bars and # EQ90-02-1000 for the head that are rated lower at 1,000 lbs tongue weight.
view full answer... - Dimension of Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET from Hitch Ball Center to Hitch Pin
- The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET has a measurement of 8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes and then the head # EQ90-02-1000 has a center of hole to center of hitch ball measurement of 4-1/4 inches. So your total length will be 12-1/4 inches from the center of the ball to the center of the hitch pin hole.
