equalizer question? what size to get?

[jbres]

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 7865#. My hitch weight was listed at 960 but with it loaded ready to go its a whopping 1,100#. My truck I pull with is 2007 GMC Classic 2500HD.
My local dealer told me there hitch man has been doing hitches for 30 years, and he suggest I go with the 90-00-1400 (14k) hitch based on my weight. I said my trailer doesn't weigh 14k and he said my hitch weight is high and the 14k will not make me suffer a stiffer ride.

Also, where have you guys bought from online.? My best price is so far is on Amazon for $556 grand total.

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.

Mmwtdh- where did you get yours?
Also, night and day difference with the equalizer? I am coming from the old school chain style

My trailer weighs 7019 / GVWR 8760 and I have 14,000 Equalizers......... they work perfectly for me.

I was worried about a rough ride with the 14k but my dealer assured me he believe my ride wont suffer because of it.

I was thinking a 14K myself. I always have been one for over kill mainly if I ever buy a larger TT I only have to buy one hitch.
