Question:
Looking for a weight distribution hitch. My problem is I have an 8inch trailer frame and can’t find any that say they support that size frame. I’m looking for a 2.5 inch shank and upwards of 1500 pounds of tongue weight.

Expert Reply:
The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ64FR comes with a 2-1/2" shank and has a 1,6000 lb tongue weight rating. It is widely known as one of the best weight distribution systems on the market. It can be used with an 8" tall trailer frame if you obtain two outer brackets part # EQ90-02-5378 and two inner brackets part # EQ90-02-5208.
