Equal-i-zer wdh question

Even if you had zero rear-end squat, the TT still will cause load (probably around 400-500#) to be removed from the front axle.
Depending on which truck you get, the manufacturer might specify restoring 50-100% of that load.
If you get a 2012+ GMC/Chevrolet, they might say you don't need a WDH.

The Equal-I-zer's ability to resist sway is proportional to the amount of load transfer (bar load).
Without load on the spring bars, you will lose sway control.

Also need WD to meet your hitch receiver ratings.
What is your trailer's loaded tongue weight?

I went from a 150 to a 350. The front fenders went up one inch so I adjusted to bring it down a half inch, sway works great. Also the new trucks have some built in sway as well.

You will still need a WD hitch, even a larger truck will squat. You will still have sway control with a larger truck.
