• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• Parts Needed to Upgrade Spring Bars of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution to 1,000 lb Spring Bars
  You are on the right track Brian! So what you'll need is an upgraded set of spring bars and a new head and you'd be set with a higher rated system. The shank and spring hangers are totally fine. So the two components you'd need are the # EQ90-02-1000 for the head and two of the spring bars # EQ90-02-1099.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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...

• 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...

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.
