Equilizer vs. Blue ox SwayPro?
We're leaving on a long trip(16+hrs) in a couple weeks. Currently have an equilizer hitch with 1200# bars. TT is a Salem 30KQBSS towed by a 2012 Surburban 2500. The equilizer works pretty well but ...

In strong cross winds or semis passing fast, trailers will sway a bit. The question is...is it excessive.
Based on your numbers, it sounds like you have the correct hitch setup but you don't know for sure.
If you can take it to a nearby truck stop and weigh it. It's something like $14 to weigh and then $2.50 for a reweigh (so should be around $20 total). Go loaded as if you are heading out on a trip.
- Make the first pass fully loaded an hooked up.
- Do a reweigh with the bars disconnected (ideally on the Aframe but not a huge issue if you have to put them in the back of the truck.
- Then park the trailer and weigh the truck.
Now you know all the weights and you don't have to guess.
