As an owner of the Blue Ox system, I am not convinced the Blue Ox is that great. I am pulling now with a F250 and pulling a 33 foot Laredo.
My brother is pulling a heavy unit with a 2500HD and an Equalizer and when comparing notes with him and others that are using the equalizer I believe the equalizer is a tighter feeling system when towing. I wish I have a way to set up both and tow with each hitch to compare.
When I set mine up on the 9th link it pulls okay, but on the tenth, link the front end feels more settled down on the road.
When I unhook, stand back because you could easily break a wrist when the tension comes off the bars.
Unloaded my truck ball is 1" higher than my trailer at level. If I move it up a hole I would be 2 1/2" higher than trailer when level. If I run the front of my trailer in the higher position it feels even looser going down the road.
Not sure if this adds anything to the discussion, but this is my experience with Blue Ox.
