I just bought an 800lbs w/d with sway not long ago and love it. I also over compensated for the tongue weight due to all the **** i load in my truck when we travel lol

I am looking for information on the EAZ-LIFT brand Sway bar and Hitch. Has anyone ever used this brand of equipment?

Yes... A lot of them out there. Sort of the basic cheap set up. What many dealers put on to get you off the lot for sale to be complete.

Picked up last trailer (used) and dealer tossed it in being old owner had it laying inside, along with bunch of other stuff. I thought it wasn't going to be very good but good enough till I got something better. That was 10,000 miles ago. Sort of surprised how good it has performed. In my personal opinion, it depends on what your towing and with what. Namely weight issues. My tongue weight is 12 1/2 percent, 8,000 pound trailer towed with a 3/4 pick up with 1,000 bars. I don't care for friction sway control, so I have never used it. I have my eyes on a pro pride but other things come first. Highly recommend greasing ends of bars. Cuts down on wear in hitch head, in-laws set up are egged shaped. I wasn't a believer in greasing until looking at in-laws. Which theirs has maybe 25,000 miles on it.

I should also mention I have a lot of "reserve capacity" on all of my weights. Nothing is close to max weight.

So overall Eaz-Lift is a great but cheap set up. There is a lot better and some hitches are actually worth the money. If the dealer is going to throw it in to make the sale, you can't beat it for the price. But if you're buying it consider stepping up a few grades.

You might get responses if you post weight of TT and what you're planning on towing it with.

They are great when properly set up and used appropriately.

*Make sure the spring bars are rated for equal to or slightly above the tongue weight.
*Depending on your trailer length you may need two sway bars..

I prefer this style hitch as I believe that the tapered bars ride better than the square tube type.

Simple, easy to use, and you can get parts that will work for them at any dealer USA or Canada.

Thanks!

It's the very basic hitch set up. There are a bazillion of them in use out there.
Dealers install them because they are easy to install and are relatively inexpensive.

Do they work?..sure.
Are the better hitches available out there?...yes. - especially hitches with integrated sway control.

When I bought my travel trailer (used) that is the brand hitch that came with it. After the first few trips I bought an Equalizer and the difference was astounding. Much more stable, controlled sway better and I felt safer.

It could be fine for your use, I have no idea what combination of trailer and tow vehicle you are using. I can only speak for my experience and set up.
