I agree. But try to convince others. "I have big truck and don't need the WDH"



When I replaced my low end WDH, with the Equalizer, it make a big difference. It was fairly expensive, but the results were dramatic.

OK this is my experience I own a ram 2500 pulling a 10,000 pound travel trailer at speeds below 70 to perfectly once I exceeded 70 I had terrible sway. I purchased weight distribution fix the problem. And then moved onto two different halftime trucks using the same weight distribution. When time to upgrade to a fifth wheel I bought a Ford 350 I towed the same travel trailer with the 350. Until we found the 5th wheel we wanted. I figured that the 350 I would not need the weight distribution.. an hour after I started my trip I was on the side of the road installing the bars. . Both the ram and the Ford pulled the trailers. I never felt this way however, looking in my side view mirror the trailer was ping-ponging between the lines just my experience..
