Video Transcript for Review of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch Head - EQ90-02-1000

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the replacement head for your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System. This one has a 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity and a 1,000 pound tongue weight capacity. Now this replacement weight distribution head fits the Equal-i-zer systems. As we mentioned, it's rated at 10,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity and 1,000 pounds tongue weight capacity.

If you notice, it does include the 2 5/16 inch pre-installed chrome ball. Now, this Equal-i-zer hitch head will create two powerful points of rotational friction that work to stop side-to-side sway before it starts. Now the mounting hardware, the washers, and the spacer rivet to install this is not included. Those items we do sell separately. And this part is made in the USA.

(replacement head scraping) But that's gonna do it for a look at this replacement head for your Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems.

etrailer shipped the product quickly, and the product did not disappoint. Customer service is excellent, and I would not hesitate to order from etrailer in the future. Thank you!!



by:

After ordering the wrong (my fault) replacement head for a shared system, the folks at etrailer.com got the correct part to me in just a fews days. They were great.

Regarding the Equal-i-zer system itself. After the initial pull of 120 miles & reviewing the installation video, I decided to add 3 washers to the set-up. It was really good before and even better after. On the return trip we were traveling at up to 75 MPH with steady side winds of 20 mph plus gusts up to 25. She was steady as can be. I drive a 1 ton Sprinter with long wheel base & tall roof and pull 22 ft Imagine XLS.



by:

Received everything as ordered. Disappointed in the packaging. Parts thrown in box willy neely. Shank appeared to have been around the world a few times. Must have been previously sold and returned. Most paint was missing. Parts and qualities were correct. Some were just beat up. Fortunately, the shank is ok, just ugly.

This head is much tighter than the previous from 6 years ago. Little harder to hook up but it is worth the additional work

@James Glad to hear it's worth it!


by:

I got great help identifying the part I needed. It was shipped and delivered in a very timely manner.



by:

Exactly what I ordered. That's the first expectation when you order something on line. Nobody wants a situation where you order a trailer hitch and receive a pair of thong underwear. And ETrailer didn't disappoint. No thong underwear.



by:

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.



by:

OEM part. Bought this to upgrade my from 6K to,10K pounds.
etrailer got parts from MO to Virginia Beach using their free freight in 4 days. Ordered Sunday, delivered Thursday. Excellent

Working well. This part is an upgrade to an existing hitch unsized by my dealer. I am glad Eual-i-zer is a “family” of parts. Only had to buy the head and 2 bars. All else is the same. etrailer did exfellent with timely shipping and packing. Towing experience is much better, now.



by:

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.



by:

Purchased all the necessary parts here to duplicate the weight distribution hitch for a second tow vehicle used for our travel trailer. The etrailer website had all the Equalizer parts numbers making ordering easy and accurate. Tracking info was forwarded to me by email as soon as order shipped. Parts arrived quickly and well packaged. Now we’re ready to tow using either of our vehicles. Thanks etrailer!



by:

If you own a towed vehicle and need replacement parts, e-trailer is the only company you’ll ever need. The website is easy to navigate and shipping was fast. I ordered a new hitch head to pull my camper and when it arrived it was spot on correct. With e-trailer you get what you expect to get. I have ordered from them a few times with perfect results. I highly recommend e-trailer to anyone!!



by:

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.



by:

I needed parts to complete a 4 point sway control WD Equalizer. Allison K.in customer service took my order and personally made sure that the order shipped on time to meet my needs. It was a pleasure to do business with etrailer. Parts arrived ahead of schedule and the shipping was free. I'm a happy camper!



by:

Excellent hitch head and weight distribution/sway system. It came a day earlier than expected as well!



by:

Bad mfg. !!!! Sockets for the spring bars were too large for the head. Tried to remove and clean them up but could see that they were forced into the head as the steel was cut and scarred from forcing them in. Spoke with Progress Mfg. and they are going to replace the head. We'll see what happens.



by:

Very good experience with etrailer. I called in to check to make sure I was getting the right part and they ordered it for me right away. It was delivered promptly and they followed up.



by:

Great experience ordering parts I needed. The parts were shipped exactly the day they promised. Definitely would use etrailer again. Thanks again.



by:

Excellent quality parts. Thank you for fast shipping.



by:

I received my part today, just as they said!
I
bought this to upgrade my current hitch from 6,000 lbs. to 10,000 lbs.
Bought a new trailer that is a bit heaver than my old one. I want to be safe when towing!



by:

First time ordering from you guys but surly not the last! Sales knowledge was spot on and the part I needed showed up a day earlier than expected.



by:

Always have what I need at a competitive price and quick shipping.



by:

Great quality products, competitive pricing and fast shipping.



by:

Fast shipping, just what I ordered.



by:

The item was exactly what I needed and wanted. I will continue to review items on your website. The staff was quick to respond and guided me through the whole purchasing process. Thank you very much!

Highly recommend

  • Is 1,200 lb Tongue Weight Equal-i-zer Too Heavy Rated for Trailer with 596 lb Tongue Weight
    You have way too much weight distribution for the tongue weight of your towing setup. What you typically experience when using a WD system that is rated too high is a really rough ride quality. Since the bars are so rigid I could see there possibly being an issue with the trailer getting bent if you went over severe enough bumps but that's not something we've seen or experienced here. We do have a pretty easy solution for you as you can replace the spring bars and head of your current...

  • Replacement Bars for an Equalizer Hitch, 14,000 to 10,000 Solution
    At one point Equal-i-zer bars could be swapped easily to convert a kit to a higher/lower tongue weight range, but we now know that you have to replace the head of the unit with the bars. So with the bars part # EQ90-01-1099 that you need you will need to swap the head # EQ90-02-1000 in as well. Also if you are getting persistent sway try moving more weight of the trailer up to the front to increase the tongue weight as that typically is the easiest fix for sway.

  • Replacement Hitch Head For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution 1,000LB/10,000LB System
    If you move up to the 1,200LB Equal-i-zer Hitch Head # EQ90-02-1200 you will need to use the larger 1,200lb weight distribution Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 with the hitch as they use larger spring bars. To use your current spring bars you will need the 1,000LB Equal-i-zer Hitch Head # EQ90-02-1000.

  • How To Upgrade from the 600 Lb to 1,000 Lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
    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.

  • Upgrading 600 lb Tongue Weight Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution to 1,000 lb System
    The issue is definitely that you have an underrated system, which is why you are experiencing sway. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET you said you have now is rated for total tongue weights - the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck - of between 200 lbs and 600 lbs, with the ideal system being one in which your total tongue weight is in the middle of the system's rating. For a trailer...

  • 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.

  • 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 same...

  • Troubleshooting Angle Head Bolt of Equal-i-zer System that Won't Thread Past 1/4 Way In
    I would recommend checking out the threads of the head of your system as it's very possible they were damaged or stripped. If the wrong size bolt was threaded a quarter of the way into it or the right size bolt won't thread past that point that would indicate an issue with the threads. Most likely you'll need a new head for the system which will depend on the system you have. The # EQ90-02-1200 would be for if you have the 1,200 lb tongue weight kit part # EQ90-02-1000 for 1,000 lb kit,...

  • 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: 400 lbs - # EQ90-02-0400 600 lbs - # EQ90-02-0600 1,000 lbs - # EQ90-02-1000 1,200 lbs - # EQ90-02-1200 1,400 lbs - #...

  • Can You Switch Between 10K and 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems
    The 10K and 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems like part # EQ37100ET and part # EQ37120ET use different heads and spring bars so if you wish to switch back between the two capacities you will need both of these items which I have listed for you below. Equal-i-zer 10K Head part # EQ90-02-1000 Equal-i-zer 10K Spring Bars part # EQ90-01-1099 Equal-i-zer 12K Head part # EQ90-02-1200 Equal-i-zer 12K Spring Bars part # EQ90-01-1299

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer System Labeled 90-00-1000
    It is a good thing you caught that before it became a problem. Equal-i-zer makes a well built system so that isn't typical. The Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer # EQ90-02-1000 you're referring to is the correct replacement part and will get you up and running again.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    The Equal-i-zer weight distribution spring bars and heads are both designed to fit specific tongue weight ratings so you'd have to replace both. So to uprate your system to 1,000 lbs tongue weight you'd need the head part # EQ90-02-1000 and the spring bars # EQ90-02-1099.

    The Ford Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) system is simply a computer that adjusts the valves inside of your shocks to absorb road shock so it wouldn't be in the way and neither would the onboard scale feature. So yes, you could install the Stability Plus Stabilizer Helper Springs # SPS94FR (4WD) or the # SPS57FR (2WD). These sit on your leaf springs, pulling them back for more support so you can end up with a stiffer ride when not hauling any weight since these can't be easily adjusted. If...

  • 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.

If this is what you are needing I would need to know what weight rating you need for your system.
