Expert Reply:

With the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET installed on your 2020 Ford F-250 you will not need anything else to remove the sag from the trailer. The head of the Equal-i-zer hitch needs to be adjusted to redistribute more weight on the front of your truck to eliminate the rear sag.

I have included a video that will show how the hitch will redistribute the weight when properly installed as well as a link to the instructions that will show you how to adjust the hitch head pitch to distribute the weight across the F-250.

You can also try the Sway Bracket Jackets # EQ95-01-5150 as these will raise the bars slightly on the brackets and will also give you a quieter ride when maneuvering the trailer.
