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...

After speaking with Equalizer again and speaking a bunch with my dealership, I chose the route of the 1,200 bars 12,000 max.
Equalizer stated either bar would be perfectly fine but always suggest one step up for when a person ends up buying a bigger TT. I bought this TT brand new and clearly have no intention of a new one anytime in the next 10 plus years. After doing some calculations, I usually wont be carrying full to the max propane as I have right now. So I am figuring my tounge weight will usually be right about 975#, not 1,100#. I thought the 1,200# bars then would probably serve me better than the 1,400# bars. Even on the occasion when I haul a 4-wheeler in the bed of my 2500HD truck, that weight should be put under my payload of my truck, not factor that into my weight distribution bars or hitch weight in my opinion. I have a payload of 3215# so I should be fine there. I think I made the right decision and hopefully will love the Equalizer much better than my POS chain style system.
