snip...The receiver is also rated at only 600 lbs.. /snip
seems odd that an 03 F250 only has a 600 pound receiver. I'd upgrade that to a typical class IV 1000 pound receiver and use the Equal-i-zer. It's a good hitch.
As was discussed above, I've towed the Starcraft 5000 lb. trailer without any weight distributing hitch or anti-sway devices and it tracks brilliantly. Meeting semi-trailers at 60 MPH creates hardly a shudder. The only reason I bought the two hitches was to not exceed the receiver rating (or running right to it's maximum) and to put some of the tongue weight back onto the front axle of the truck.
Currently, I'm in discussion with the seller about the missing Pullrite parts. He has located the head, brackets, and sway bars and is texting me about delivery options, with the option of "exchanging" with what I already have. So, the plot thickens. :?
