Well currently I just have a ball receiver that was built into my Tahoe (tow package) and as far as weight distribution bars, I have nothing. As of right now all I have is a 2 5/16 ball on the back of my Tahoe and that's it. My wife was calling around today and a company said they carry Husky sway bars for $60, and from what I was reading online, I need something a little more sophisticated. I have been reading a lot of good things about equalizer. I just don't want to put the lives of my wife and kids in jeopardy because of a cheap part or a bad install.
Did you buy from a dealer?? He should have done you better. You don't need just sway bars. You need a complete weight distributing hitch. And that is going to run in the 450 to 500 dollar range.
Now IF you didn't buy from a RV dealer. Go find one, and have him sell, install and setup a hitch for your TT, and TV. Have them come to your house, and get the TT. You Tahoe is not capable to safely tow your TT without a WDH. Your weight carrying receiver is not rated for that kind of weight.
OR, If you have a friend that knows about WDH. Buy a hitch, and have him help you. But do not try to tow that TT with a drawbar in a your receiver. OR if it is in your bumper. At any rate. Don't move the TT with your Tahoe until you have a properly installed, and setup WDH.
