Crosswinds and passing semis can push a trailer around, but the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control stays planted. It uses two friction points inside the hitch head and two at the L-brackets along the frame, creating up to three times more side-to-side resistance than typical hitches. This rigid steel-on-steel setup keeps the trailer tracking straight, so you don’t have to white-knuckle the steering wheel when conditions get rough.
With a design that evenly spreads tongue weight across all axles, this system keeps your tow vehicle and trailer level for better braking and steering. It’s rated for 10,000 lbs gross towing weight and 600-1,000 lbs tongue weight, so it’s right in the sweet spot for many travel trailers and cargo haulers. The chromoly steel spring bars flex smoothly to reduce that bouncy, uneven ride you get from chain-style setups.
Once everything’s dialed in, hitching up is quick and repeatable. The rigid L-brackets clamp to trailer frames up to 6" tall—no drilling needed—and stay clear of propane tanks, tool boxes, or battery trays. You can back straight into your campsite or driveway without removing bars or sway components, saving time every time you park.
The Equal-i-zer’s dipped steel finish fights corrosion, and the full kit includes the head assembly, adjustable 12" shank, 2-5/16" hitch ball, spring bars, sway control brackets, lift handle, pin and clip, and all hardware. The shank adjusts for a maximum 7" rise or 3" drop to fine-tune your height. It’s a durable system built to handle long miles and heavy loads with confidence.
Proper head tilt helps you hit that just-right balance between front and rear load. Add or remove the included washers on the spacer rivet to change leverage without special tools. Once it’s set, the system holds tension through the whole rig, keeping everything secure and lined up for stable, predictable towing.

My Equal-i-zer hitch continues to perform as I had wanted and described in my review. It has an unstated safety benefit. I tow long distances without a load on my trailer. I keep the Equal-i-zer hitch fully installed but adjusted so there is only mild tension transferred forward. That keeps the receiver ball housing on the tongue of the trailer constantly pressed against the hitch ball. If for any reason the ball coupling lock should fail or have not been set, the trailer would remain coupled to the truck.

I am pulling a 34 foot travel trailer that weighs 7,280lbs. I am very comfortable and feel secure while towing with the equalizer hitch system. There is absolutely no sway even when tractor trailer pass by. I have used other sway control products and systems where I encountered sway and white knuckle rides. I highly recommend the Equalizer 4 point sway control system to anybody thinking about a new or replacing a current system.

We still have it and it’s been working great. If I need anything else, I will definitely let you know. I had a very tight timeline and you guys made sure I received it before picking up the new trailer. Thanks again

A whole year has gone by, and Im still extremely satisfied with my equalizer hitch. I hear the squeaks when I make my turns, I know people talk about this hitch being slightly noisy, but every time I hear it I smile. I know its back there, doing its thing, and it does it extremely well. I would buy this hitch again in a New York minute. I am very pleased. Did I say Im VERY pleased? Lol. Its that good.

The thin walled socket needed to install the hitch ball is available as a Related Item here at etrailer. Equal-i-zer offers such a socket as part # EQ70-00-4800. We have also found that the Powerbuilt 1-78 Inch Thin Walled Socket, part # ALL643216, works well with the Equal-i-zer system.
