equalizer question? what size to get?
Getting ready to order my 4 point equalizer online and trying to determine which weight class to get. I weighed by TT today and got some interesting results. My loaded TT weight is 7,000#. GVWR is 786...

Equalizer makes a 1200 model which more closely matches your hitch weight. Too stiff a bar can damage the trailer hitch because the trailer hitch will flex instead of the torsion/equalizer bar.
I'm not too sure how true that is as long as you're not REALLY, REALLY going overboard like using a 1.4/14K where a 600/6K system would work. Also, I can't substantiate it, but I would think the vehicle NVH might only be negatively impacted with a lighter based and less robust suspension type vehicle.
In this case he is only going 300lbs over his known TW so a 1.4/14K system might not be an issue. I run the 1.2/12K Equal-i-zer on a trailer with an axle wt of 6800 and TW of close to 950lbs and all is good.
