help me decide on a new WDH
Hi all, my previous post was whether or not to buy a new WDH and after this past weekend my decision is set. I'm gonna buy a new one. I have a big trip coming up in August and I don't want the issues ...

I have an equalizer. Only downside to it is you can't play with it if you load differently. Once set up you can't just drop an extra chain link if you are towing with or without water. So is I tow with a full load of water, the truck squats a bit more than I like. I think the Blue Ox is better for this.
But this doesn't happen often for me so it isn't a big deal.
Sure you can. Just move the bar saddle on the trailer frame up or down. Each bolt hole gives you about a chain link worth of difference.
Isn't what I consider "playing" with it if I have to break out the wrench and breaker bar. It's nowhere near as simple as dropping a chain link.
My Husky Centerline is the same general design as the Equal-i-zer, and it only takes an end wrench to change the position of the saddle.
The saddle just hangs from the bolts, they have blunt ends that fit into the plate behind, smooth centers, and threads near the heads. So torque is not important. Pull them, move the saddle up or down, replace the bolts and snug them up. Just takes a minute.
I thought the two hitches were the same... Learned something new today.
