Use a weight distribution hitch or not?
My question is pretty easy. I bought my Sportsmen used and the former owner let me his Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch for free with the trailer. It's not the new lightweight 400 tongue/4K trail...

I understand about lateral wind, but it's still unclear in my mind how adding a 90 pounds device on the vehicle can keep the vehicle suspension levelled? The Equal-i-zer hitch alone put some major weight (and drop) on my rear suspension and the trailer isn't hooked yet! Thx.
The bars act as levers to transfer the weight towards the front of your van...hence the name weight distribution.
You can actually set it up so tight it will take a majority of the weight off of the rear wheels of the van to the point where they will lose traction. So the 90lbs is a moot point with this type of hitch.
