Weight Stabilizer/Equalizer Hitch?
Moving from a 5er to large bumper pull toyhauler. Purchased a 2014 Raptor 31DS and we'll pick it up next week. We are looking for recommendations on a weight stabilizer/equalizer hitch. Thanks.

Well as long as we are talking about WD hitches with sway control, who makes the largest capacity hitch...?
I have a 15,000 GTW, 1500 tw wd hitch now with sway control. Its the biggest I could find.And at the time thought it would be plenty big enough. That was before I started using the scales... My TH sticker says 13,000 gvw 1090tw.
Is there a bigger hitch made...?
But lets get real, the real weights are, TH fully loaded with water,fuel,toys,gear, is 14,000+lbs, and TW is more like 1700-2000lbs depending on loading,I've seen 2200# before a reload adjustment.
My axles are at least 6000lbs, and my lt ribs tires give me the full 18,000 load capacity. Rating for the 2.5" receiver in the new trucks should be plenty. My worry is the hitch rating.
What are the real world concerns of going over considerably on the TW/GTW...? rating of the wd hitch. If I could find a larger capacity hitch I would gladly buy it, just don't see them available. I am sure others have been in this predicament also, Is there any real world solution...?
