Bars or chains

Another vote for the Trekker by Eaz-Lift...I really like mine. Same basic design as The Equalizer, but has pads on the trailer brackets that greatly reduce the noise. The trailer brackets also have built-in hinges with 'fingers' on them that help grab and lift the WD bars into place, making bar placement very easy. I had the chain type and moved to the Trekker, and have been extremely pleased.

Also a look at Trekker might be worthwhile. One thing I like about mine is the sway control can be easily disengaged. May be the same with the others but I don’t know.

I have a Blue ox (chains).

Id suggest getting an Equalizer (bars) and not look back.

Equal-I-zer Bars

Thank you for the responses so far! My trailer is 27’ and gross weight about 7500 lbs. I tow it with a 96 dodge 2500. If there is a hitch with sway and wd built into one (bars seem easy to me) that’s what I would like. I will look at the previously mentioned brands.

Bars if you prefer blondes.
Chains if you prefer red heads.

I would not focus on bars vs. chains. The Equalizer 4-pt and Reese Strait Line are similarly effective and use opposing designs. Get a WDH with integrated sway control. Either of the two I listed above are good. So is the Blue Ox Swaypro and Anderson.

I didn't like the chains. Equal-i-zer here, and I love it. Was noisy the first two years or so, then became completely quiet.

I had used the chain type with sway bar up until 2 weeks ago and bought a Husky center-line, best purchase ever! no sway at all.

I used the chain type for over 40 years which worked well but the 4 point Equalizer-er works much better. It is the best hitch that I have used EVER.
Been using the bar type for the last 10 uears
