The hitches with the L-bracket systems are intentionally NOT GREASED because it creates friction limiting sway. If all you want is weight distribution with no sway control, one of the chain based systems would be easier.
I interpret the instructions a bit different. Both the e2 and equalizer are saying you can grease the L bracket if you want to reduce the friction on purpose.
I think i figured out what happened with the equalizer instructions. 3 years ago i swear they had instructions to grease the L bracket to reduce noise and popping. Now it seems they are selling a jacket and calling grease messy.

In some cases the friction on the L-brackets can generate noise. Lubricating this joint is not recommended. A better solution is a set of official Equal-i-zer brand Sway Bracket Jacketsâ„¢. They quiet the ride and reduce wear without the mess of using a lubricant.
