[A/S] Re: Hensley Hitch Install



Tell ya what, Tom... I'll put the drop bar in the Hensley and you put 
the Equal-I-Zer and hitch head on your trailer, with the friction set 
the way you tow.  I'll swing my drop bar from one side to another 
back and forth easily.  I don't think you'll call that locked once 
you see it. Try that with the Equal-I-Zer.  It'll fight you turning 
it with the same force it uses to fight sway.  You'll see 
which "bends in the middle" easiest.

The Equal-I-Zer is no different in function than any common weight-
distributing hitch with a friction sway control on each side.  It 
just combines the functions into the spring arms.  It fights the 
truck bending the rig as much as it does the trailer trying to bend 
it with sway.  Friction devices resist in both directions.
