Who needs the Equalizer Tool to lift bars

I raised my L brackets one hole today to apply more weight to my steer axle. I was on level ground. I needed to use the tool to lift the bars onto the L Brackets. I could have gone higher with the jack but i dont want to overstress the electric jack to where it breaks. How many of you need to use the tool and not because you find it easier but out of necessity. My bars were level once on the L brackets and I feel the hitch is dialed in. Just to clarify I don't need the tool due to health or strength issues. Tks

    Same here. I used to have to use it all the time but a few months ago we bought a 3,500lb tongue jack and I almost never use it. As the previous poster said, I only have to use it if parked on pretty uneven ground and the low side has way more weight on it. Otherwise, I just raise the jack till they fall in place.

    I have the tool but rarely use it unless I an uneven ground where one bar is much tighter while the other is loose. But I am pretty aggressive with the power jack. So long as the TVs rear tires are still on the ground, I keep raising it.:B
