Anti sway or Equalizer hitch ??

I'm assuming these come with the ball when you order.  Would that be a safe assumption?

Originally posted by Burt We have an RP171 and the TV is a Ford Ranger 4..0 L V6, 4WD.  We did put on a weight distribution set and later added the sway bar (right side only).  We live and play near the Columbia River Gorge which can get gale force winds.  The POD rides perfectly and has never swayed or been a "rocking" issue.  It tows nicely. If you live in an area that can get unexpected storms or gusts, both weight distribution and sway bars are recommended and our experiences are proof of that.  Coming up the Columbia River gorge has many areas where downdrafts from the higher mountains can and do bring wind blasts unexpectedly. Crossing the Columbia River bridges can be very windy at times.   The stability of both has been very helpful for our setup. Good choosing.

If you use the online tools available on the main Equalizer web site (I don't think they are on the E2 site) then the initial setup isn't bad.  I didn't have those tools and I spent hours getting my setup right.

I have an E2 WDH with sway control and I just got back from a 2000 mile trip. This is the longest trip I have taken with the pod. I was carrying a 130 lbs generator on the tongue of the pod so I really needed the WDH. It took me two days to get the WDH set properly. I put axle risers on the pod and added weight to the tongue so all my settings had changed.  I drove for 2 hours the first day and the trailer swayed a little in the wind and was porpoising a little. The first day I raised the brackets to give me a little more Weight Distribution. That was a lot better but I needed a little more sway control so I put another washer on the head to angle it down a little bit more and that did the trick. In a strong cross wind I can get a little bit of sway but it is more than manageable and I don't want to put anymore spring in because I don't want to take weight off the back wheels. With the short wheelbase of my Jeep Liberty and the extra tongue weight I would not feel safe without the WDH and sway control.  The creaking and groaning from the metal on metal sway control freaked my wife out though.
