Show The SwayPro is an innovative product that is a weight-distribution hitch that also prevents trailer sway. It does this by using loaded spring bars, easy to use rotating latches, and an integrated hitch head. How Does SwayPro Work?When your trailer would begin to sway due to wind or other varying factors, it puts a heavier load on one of the bars. As this happens, the spring bars pivot on the hitch head and balance each other out, preventing the motion from starting and giving you trailer sway control. The SwayPro also takes care of weight distribution at the same time by putting more weight onto the front tires of your towing vehicle. This increases braking and steering control for a safer driving experience. Installing SwayProBelow are the 12 basic steps for installing SwayPro. For the complete installation instructions, please refer to the SwayPro Owner’s Manual.
*Note: Ram Truck owners please reference the Trailer Towing section of your vehicle owner’s manual for proper hitch set-up instructions. Also, it is recommended for optimal towing performance to set the ball height 2” higher than the top the trailer coupler.
**IMPORTANT: The spring bar chain must be straight up and down in the center of the rotating latch when the towing vehicle and trailer are aligned. Reposition the rotating latch along the trailer frame if necessary.
*Note: Adjustments to the number of links used may be necessary due to certain driving conditions and/or changes to the trailer after the initial setup. Advancement to the 10th or 11th link from the top is recommended to compensate for these changes. *Note: Caution must be used when unlatching due to the potential of injury if the tension of the spring bar is suddenly released the wrench will rotate quickly. Hold the wrench firmly as the rotating latch bracket will rotate downward causing a quick jerk on the wrench. Rotate slowly and firmly. Leveling the Towing Vehicle

Is sway control the same as weight distribution?Often times people think sway control and weight distribution are the same thing, but they are not. Luckily for Equal-i-zer hitch customers you get both from one hitch, without any add ons. The big thing about both of these concepts is the increase in safety over a weight carrying hitch.
Does a weight distribution hitch control sway?Many weight-distribution hitches also provide sway control. Sway control decreases the tendency of a trailer to move side to side behind the tow vehicle in wind, poor road conditions and when the driver makes an error. This comes into play when towing high-profile trailers, especially ones designed to be lightweight.
How much does it cost to install a weight distribution hitch?You can expect hitch installation to start around $100 and go up to $800. Keep in mind, that you'll also have to buy the tow hitch and other parts separately (which can easily run you another $150–$200).
