White lithium grease for the hitch?
What do you think about using white lithium spray grease for the hitch ball and the spring bars? I've got the spray handy and don't want to open a whole tube of grease for this small job. Thanks.

I bought an old second hand trailer from the early 70's and the coupler got so thin it wore through and I had to build it up with my welder to close the hole. So I do think lubricant of some type is necessary.
And equalizer bars definitely need lubrication. When I sold our previous trailer with it's Draw Tight hitch the bars has pretty significant wear top and bottom where the leverage was applied. And that was with me greasing them.
No one likes grease on pant legs, but the first thing I do after unhitching is pull the hitch out of the receiver and store it along with the equalizer bars.
All the best, Hans
