F 150, Need Equalizer Hitch

As i was reading all of this, i thought, i know i purchased a hitch with the r-pod, i hope i got somrthing similar to what your all talking about. I grabbed my paperwork and looked, luckily, i bought a fastway E2 weight dist, with anti sway system. Whew, i feel better

Originally posted by TheBum We had a Husky on ours before we switched to the Fastway E2 hitch. It worked well, but was a bit noisy compared to the E2.

The Equal-i-zer was very noisy initially. It made all kinds of groans and pops. Two things that helped:
1. A hitch tightener to stop the movement of the hitch shank in the receiver. Several brands are available. I got the StowAway Hitch Tightener and it has worked well.
2. Sway Bracket Jacket  which quiets the bar as it slides in the bracket. According to the web site, it "may lessen or decrease the sway control by a slight degree." I have not noticed any significant decrease in sway control with them but our hitch is a whole lot quieter.

I don't know if the E2 has something equivalent to the Sway Bracket Jacket. If not, a little grease should serve the purpose. The same applies to the Husky.

I tend to be cautious. I like to make sure if anything goes wrong, i have the most secure legal battle i can put up in my defense. To many people cant wait to cash in on the one in a hundred chance that something could happen.
