Weight Distribution Hitch Systems - Thoughts?

Having used an Equalizer hitch on one trailer and having installed a Blue Ox Sway Pro on the current one, I like the BOSP very much. Easy to hook up, smooth and quiet and seriously dampens the "chucking" you get over bumps and RR tracks. Overall the trailer tows a lot smoother and is more stable.

The Equalizer did OK but it is clunky and heavy and a PITA to hook up, with lots of small parts (pins and clips to hold the bars in the sockets, and L pins and clips to hold the bars on the brackets, and the bars are stupid heavy and stiff (wonder what they are doing to the truck's hitch structure?)

Anyhow, thats my take on it.

The Blue OX Sway Pro does not have the noise or grease some do. ALso no shoulder straining chain hoisting like some and no back up issues

I like my Husky Centerline TS with 1200 lb bars for my 10k lb trailer with up to 9280 lbs on the trailers axles and 1000 lbs on the trucks rear axle. I pulled the trailer for a year before being talked into a WD hitch.
Just make sure the hitch is heavy duty enough for the long haul.

I use an Equalizer and have never had a reason to try anything else. I'm sure theres other good products, but as long as it works.....

HENSLEY hitch

I agree. The expense is significant. I suggest you get over the sticker shock and take them up on their 60 day guarantee.
Once you experience the towing performance of a Hensley no other hitch compares.
NO sway is for real. You will not feel, anticipate, move over or grab the wheel wheelers 18 wheelers go by. no regrets buying a Hensley.
In hindsight, the money I regret spending was on the other hitches that did not tow as well as the Hensley...LOL

I highly recommend the Reese Dual Cam,the only system better is the HA/ProPride.

I had the D.C. With our 35ft TT and it kept it solid behind my Excursion even in high winds or with semis passing.

Have them set the hitch up for you.

Another Equalizer user here.

That's fine but read the manual and watch a few videos, so you can check that the guys installing it, do it right.

I love my husky center-line. Its the torsion bar style. No chains. Once i got it dialed in its been great!

Super happy with the Blue Ox Sway Pro. Had it for 5 years and would buy another.
Hitches at dealers tend to be overpriced, get the best deal on the camper, the shop the best deal on the hitch.
Watch the install and set up videos, and do it yourself. I don’t really trust the “Pros”.

We have been happy with the Blue Ox Sway Pro.
