Equalizer or Reese Dual Cam

I totally agree with the need for proper set up on the Reese DC. The way I got around that issue is by adding air bags to my suspension. I measured my trucks bumper height when I was setting up my DC and always return it to that height after loading the truck before I hook up. That said I've had my DC for pulling a 34' 7800# trailer for 3 years and am very happy with it. As far as the original install, I read and reread the instructions, watched the videos (E trailer has some great ones), measured 2 to 3 times everything, and maybe I got lucky but got it done on the first time. Regardless of what hitch you buy if you can, install it yourself. I don't think most dealers will take the amount of time it takes. Also if you don't have one get a torque wrench and follow the instructions specs.
