Video Transcript for 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems Review

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Equal-i-zer trailer hitch ball in a 2 5/16 configuration. And this is gonna be a great option for that Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch that you may be putting on your car. Now our neighbor picked up an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch that they're gonna be towing their enclosed trailer with and included was a two inch ball, but the coupler on their trailer is a 2 5/16 so the ball doesn't ever come pre-installed on the weight distribution hitch. So now's a good time to make sure we have the right ball. This is gonna work out great. It's got the 1 1/4 diameter for the shank and this is designed for the weight distribution hitch.

So this is gonna be a great drop in on this to make sure that we can hook up to their trailer. Being a 2 5/16 ball, this is obviously gonna be the diameter that we need to hook up to our trailer, but also the 1 1/4 works directly with the Equal-i-zer hitch. And this you can see is meant for it. Equal-i-zer stamp there. It's also rated at 16,000 pounds, so this is definitely heavy duty.

It's all steel construction and it does come with the split washer as well as the nut to get it installed. Our shank length is gonna be 2 3/8. So again, since it's designed for this, it's gonna work out really well. It's also double chrome plated, so this is gonna hold up to any rust or corrosion long term. So even if you're using your weight distribution hitch all the time or if it's sitting out in the elements, this is gonna hold up to those long term.

Now to get this installed is gonna require a pretty heavy duty torque wrench and maybe a specialty socket that you may not have. But I'll show you a quick tip on how to get yours installed once you get all those proper tools. Sometimes it's really hard to get the leverage that's required to get this torqued down. It is printed in the instruction manual, the torque setting you'll be using, and to just get a spot to be able to do this rather than putting in a vice, it can be tricky, but what we'll do is we'll just loosely install the bolts on our weight distribution head onto the shank and we're gonna turn the shank over in the hitch of our vehicle. And this is gonna be the point that's gonna hold it up for us.

We want the ball facing towards the passenger side, that way when we tighten, we're able to push down rather than pull up. And we'll just take our split washer and our nut and just kind of get these started. You'll see that there's flat sides on both sides of the ball and that's gonna allow us to get an 1 3/4 inch wrench on the head of the ball to keep this straight. It really, it's not super crucial, but it's nice to keep that head in place as we're putting that torque on there. That way it's not spinning around. So an 1 3/4 inch wrench will go here. So since this is a specialty tool, in order to get this installed, you may have to take it somewhere or you can pick up this socket here at etrailer separate if you wanna do this on your own or if you ever plan on swapping out the ball, you will need to pick this up. Now as I mentioned, the torque setting is really high on this and that's because it needs to stay in place obviously for the lifespan of towing that heavy duty trailer that you may have. So if you don't have a large torque wrench, you may have to go out and rent one. This is a pretty large, this is a half inch drive, so we're gonna be using this as well as keeping our wrench in place to get this torqued down. Probably gonna want an extension as well to get this in place. Make it a little bit easier. Now this is cumbersome. You might need an extra set of hands here, but with the wrench, I'm gonna make sure that I keep this aligned to where that's nice and straight. And then we're just gonna start cranking down until our torque wrench tells us we've reached our limit. There we go. We got our click on our torque wrench. So we've officially installed the ball on our weight distribution hitch. So with that torqued down, we can officially flop this back over. And one step of your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system is already done by getting this torqued down. So all it's left to do is get the rest of your system set up and now you'll be able to hook up to that 2 5/16 coupler. And that was a look at the Equal-i-zer 2 5/16 trailer ball for the Equal-i-zer weight distribution System.

Great ball hitch, works well with my travel trailer hitch set up. I took it to a garage and had them attach it because it has insane foot lb specs not achieveable at home.



by:

I bought a 12,000 lb rated Equal-i-zer weight distribution system from a different retailer, but they installed the wrong rated ball. etrailer had the correct ball at good price. I can't wait until summer to use it.



by:

Perfect fit onto my Equalizer head assembly’s. Using the available thin-walled socket made it easy. Looking forward to many miles of open road.



by:

New to camping two year ago, had a R-Pod first year and now a Forest River FQ 17. Bought the Equal-i-er Weight Distribution system and trailer tows great.



by:

It's a heavyweight hitch ball. Not sure what else to say. I use it on a 31 ft Travel Trailer (1,200 plus tongue weight). It does what's supposed to do.



by:

Product information on website was useful for selection. Product delivery was good and ontime. Hitch was easy to install and adjust and helps keep my trailer from swaying.

  • Does The Hitch Ball Come Installed On The 16K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch?
    The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ64FR does not come with a hitch ball attached. This is due to the manufacturer not installing the hitch ball from the factory. We pair their hitch with the Ball # EQ54FR as a package to ensure the correct size hitch ball goes with the correct weight distribution hitch ball. You will need the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the hitch ball on the hitch head. It is also needed to verify and check torque while you use the...

  • Recommendation For Reducing Sag On 2022 Toyota Tundra SR 4x4 When Trailer Towing
    The best solution for reducing your rear end sag on your 2022 Toyota Tundra SR while also providing for the safest ride possible is by installing a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System. The Equal-i-zer helps to redistribute the tongue weight more evenly across your Tundra reducing sag. Reducing rear end sag removes the light steering feel and diminished braking. This hitch also helps to reduce trailer sway which often occurs due to the large size of the camper and strong winds. You will...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1986 Holiday Rambler Alumalite Trailer
    I can help you determine the best weight distribution system to use, but you will need to confirm the GVWR and tongue weight of your trailer on the spec plate or sticker on the trailer. The best way to select a weight distribution hitch is with the tongue weight and GVWR of your trailer and the tongue weight should typically be 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. Assuming you use the full GVWR of the camper then you'll need a weight distribution hitch with at least 900-lbs of capacity....

  • Does Fresh Water Tank Need to be Full When Adjusting Equal-i-zer 16k Weight Distribution Hitch
    Hey Tony, thanks for writing in, and that's a really smart question. The answer is yes, the fresh water tank should be full when adjusting the 16,000 lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ90-00-1600. What you want to do is have the trailer loaded up just like it would be when travelling to ensure you get the proper adjustment and full benefits of the hitch. As an aside, if you don't already have a hitch ball for the # EQ90-00-1600, the right one is the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for...

  • Will Draw-Tite 20K Hitch Ball Work with 16K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System
    The correct hitch ball for the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ64FR is the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ54FR. The 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # 63840 won't work as the shank is 2-3/4" long and the limit for this system is 2-3/8" per the manual.

  • Weight Rating of Hitch Ball for 16K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control
    The hitch ball for the 16K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ64FR can actually be found as part # EQ54FR and is rated for 16,000 lbs just like the weight distribution system. This same hitch ball is likely used for some of the lower-rated systems from Equal-i-zer as well. Basically if the system comes with a 2-5/16" hitch ball and isn't rated for more than 16K it likely has this hitch ball. Attached are some review videos for you to check out.

  • Replacement Hitch Balls and Socket For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch System
    The 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 is the only socket we carry for mounting a hitch ball to your Fastway e2 weight distribution system. We do have the correct size hitch balls to fit your hitch that will allow for you to use the 1-7/8" socket as I fear a 1-15/16 socket would not fit inside the recess for the hitch ball. 2" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6080 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ54FR

  • 2-5/16" Hitch Balls and Thin Wall Socket For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch Systems
    Yes, we do have the Thin Walled Socket for Equal-i-zer Hitches # EQ70-00-4800 and their 2-5/16" hitch balls. They have different weight ratings and you will want to ensure you have the correct one from the list below. 10,000LB Equal-i-zer 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100 12,000LB Equal-i-zer 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6120 14,000LB Equal-i-zer 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6140 16,000LB Equal-i-zer 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ54FR

  • Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution For 450 lb Tongue Weight Trailer
    The Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET is for trailers with loaded tongue weights between 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs so it would not be a good choice for a 452 lb tongue weight. For that loaded tongue weight go with the 200 lb - 600 lb rated Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET. This comes with a 2" ball but if your trailer takes a 2-5/16" ball use the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ54FR. As for your Jeep if you are saying its hitch has a tongue weight...
