Exactly as expected. Quality part.

I expect the parts I received should perform well. I have the six inch version of these parts in use on another trailer and they work fine.
All the parts received were correct except for two each “Inner Link Plate for Equal-i-zer Sway Control Bracket - 8" Trailer Frames
Item # EQ90-02-5208.”
What was sent to me is the six inch frame version (about 8.25 inches long) which is generally not sold separately by the manufacturer or etrailer. The labels affixed to the plates showed the correct part number for the eight inch frame version (about 10.25 inches long) but I was actually sent the the six inch version. The plates were mislabeled as eight inch versions.
This mistake is delaying a major trip for us by at least several days. I called and spoke to someone named Shaunee (not sure of correct spelling) to assist in resolving the problem. I advised her of the mislabeling issue and to advise the support team to send me the correct eight inch frame parts. I have been assured I will receive the correct parts, expedited processing and shipping. We shall see…

The 8 inch trailer frame bracket will measure 10 and 3 eighths overall. It sounds like a mistake. Customer service will reach out to you.

Running the equalizer hitch on a 4ft extension hitch behind a 12ft camper. We tow a 25ft enclosed car trailer full of toys. This is the best weight distribution hitch I have found. I did buy the plastic pads for noise reduction

For those that wish to install the Equalizer system on an inTech car hauler, you will need these brackets (EQ90-02-5208 & EQ90-02-5378) as the tongue is constructed using 2"x8" aluminum box tubing. Searching the web lead me to etrailer and it's great pricing and customer service! Thanks George!

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For V-Nose Trailer
    Thank you for providing that picture and measurement. Based on what you have there there is definitely enough room to install a weight distribution hitch. I recommend the Fastway e2 which will require placing the brackets 27-30" back along the frame, leaving you with room to spare. The correct system will depend on the tongue weight of your loaded setup. The best way to find this is to measure with a scale like the # e99044. I have also attached an article below which covers other ways...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for Somerset E3 Pop Up Camper
    That answer you looked at is a bit confusing and I think it gave you the wrong idea about weight distribution. A weight distribution hitch should not be selected based on your tow vehicle. The most important thing is making sure your loaded tongue weight falls into the tongue weight range of the hitch. I don't know what year or exact model you have but I'm guessing 268 lbs is the dry tongue weight. You will need to measure to see what your loaded tongue weight is, or at least find the...

You will need to select one of the hitch systems from the list below depending on your trailer weight and tongue weight. To fit the 8" frame on your ATC trailer you will also need 2 of the Inner # EQ90-02-5208 and Outer # EQ90-02-5378 link plates. 200-600lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer...

  • Outer and Inner Links for Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution for 8 and 10 Inch Trailer Frames
    Yes, for the outer link for 8 inch trailer frames use # EQ90-02-5378. The inner is # EQ90-02-5208. The outer for 10 inch frames is # EQ90-02-5379 and the inner is # EQ90-02-5210. If you change the outers you also have to change the inners if you don't already have them.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Camping Trailer
    The most important thing to know when selecting a weight distribution system is your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2016 Ram 1500. Your total tongue weight needs to be in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity in order for the system to work effectively. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET has a tongue weight capacity between 200 lbs...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for Enclosed Car Trailer With 8" Tall Aluminum Frame
    I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37140ET. Using this system you will also get sway control to make things much safer when you are driving. This system is rated for a tongue weight of 1,000-1,400lbs and a maximum trailer weight of 14,000lbs. If your trailer is less than that please let me know and I can recommend a more suited system. You will need to get different link plates for your 8" frame. I suggested this type of system primarily because of your aluminum...

  • Will The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System EQ37140ET Fit A Trailer With An 8" Tall Frame?
    Though the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37140ET will not come with the parts needed to allow it to work with 8" tall frames, we do have the parts needed to adapt it to do so. You will need qty.2 of both the Outer Link Plate # EQ90-02-5378 and Inner Link Plate # EQ90-02-5208 to complete this, but it will get you up and running. These will replace the stock inner and outer link plates and are designed for your 8" tall frame.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Trailer with 8" Tongue
    The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37140ET is my recommendation for a weight distribution system. It's largely considered to be one of the best options on the market.

  • What Size Trailer Tongues Do Reese and Equal-i-zer Pole Tongue Adapters Fit?
    I assume you were talking about the tongue width and tongue height that the respective pole tongue adapters fit. The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 fits tongues that are between 1-5/8" and 5" wide and between 3" and 6" high while the Equal-i-zer Pole-Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 fits trailer tongues between 1" and 5" wide and between 2" and 5" high.

  • Will the 13K Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution System Fit 8" Frame
    The Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Systems like part # BLU27FR can accommodate frames up to 6" tall. For an 8" frame, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37140ET with Inner Plate part # EQ90-02-5208 and Outer Link part # EQ90-02-5378. This would be one of the only bolt-on systems for an 8" tall frame. The width won't be an issue.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch For Trailer With 8 Inch Tall Frame That Does Not Require Drilling
    Hi Richard, There is an option for weight distribution for an 8 inch frame, though I will say that you'll want to check with your trailer manufacturer to see if you can use weight distribution because many aluminum frame trailers won't allow it due to the stress on the frame. But if it is allowed you can use an Equal-i-zer system, either # EQ37060ET (comes with 2" hitch ball) if your loaded tongue weight is up to 600 lbs, or # EQ37100ET (comes with 2-5/16" hitch ball) if the tongue weight...

  • Weight Distribution for Dump Trailer with 8 Inch Tall I-Beam Frame
    I do have a great option for you but a Reese system is not going to be the best choice in this case. You will need to box the trailer frame where the weight distribution brackets will go by having steel plates welded on. What you can use is an Equal-I-zer system, # EQ37120ET as an example, and then add 2 outer link plates, # EQ90-02-5378, sold in quantities of 1, and 2 inner link plates, # EQ90-02-5208, also sold in quantities of 1. That would allow you to use the system on an 8 inch...
