Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this two-inch hitch ball for the Equal--zer weight distribution system. Has an 8,000 pound weight capacity that is stamped right on the top of the ball here. This is a trailer hitch ball, which is designed for use with the Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. It is a sturdy steel construction.
As you can see, it has a nice durable rust resistant, double chrome plating on it. Does come with the lock washer and the nut that you use for installation.A few specs on this, again, the diameter of the ball is two inches. Dimensions on the shank. The length of it is right at two and a quarter inches. The diameter on it, it's right at one and a quarter inches, and you do want to make sure this hitch ball does get attached to a platform that at least has a thickness of three eighths of an inch.
Weight capacity again is 8,000 pounds, but that should do it for the review on the two-inch hitch ball for the Equal-i-zer weight distribution system.

Needed this for my trailer. Came timely. All is good.
by: Jeff S.09/14/2017
I ordered a ball hitch, ball, trailer wiring harness and 1 7/8" socket. The customer service was outstanding. I mentioned that I needed my order quickly. The rep I worked with researched and found one of the items I ordered was out of stock and would delay the shipment. The rep helped me rework the order and gave special attention to making sure this was done with minimal price increase. She really went the extra mile. The next day I decided I wanted to add on a wiring tester. This meant cancelling and re-booking the order. The rep, a different one this time, took special care to get everything right and make sure I didn't lose any of the items prior to cancelling the original order. The order came very quickly - and that was with free shipping - and the quality of the items is excellent. I only have two concerns with the order. 1) Be wary of installing the ball on the ball hitch. For the ball I ordered, the manufacturer requires 430 lb. ft. of torque. You will likely have a difficult time finding a torque wrench that handles over 300 lb. ft. If you do find one, plan on forking out several hundred dollars for it. You will either have to improvise or find a mechanic who is also likely to improvise as they may not have the proper equipment. This is the one thing I didn't plan for. 2) By no fault of the reps, they had to cancel then re-book the order just to add a $5 item. That points to a very cumbersome order taking system. It adds a lot of unnecessary hassle and may introduce errors into the order. Having said this, the positive of this experience far outweighs the two negative points.

Figured out on Saturday what type of anti-sway hitch I needed to order, receive and install by Wednesday night. Tried another site, they couldn't meet the deadline, turned to google and discovered etrailer. Called at 1 PM on Saturday and talked to Steve Z, he got the order placed, and promised to check the status and follow up with me on Sunday. Everything was delivered on Tuesday and that night the hitch was installed, a day ahead of schedule.
I don't expect to have a high need for towing / trailering, but when I do I'll be checking and calling etrailer first. On a scale of 1 to 10 their customer service is a 15.

The new ball is perfect, I had trouble finding a wrench to remove the the original ball from the ball mount. Once I got the proper sized wrench everything went smoothly.

Review from a similar Heavy Duty WD Hitch Ball in Trailer Hitch Ball
Big shiny (for now) ball.
etrailer spot on. Good stock and rapid delivery

Just fine. It’s a hitch ball. Cannot find the right words to review it. It is shiny and round and my rig has not fallen off so it must be great

- Base of Flange to Top of Ball Dimension on Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Ball EQ91-00-6080I was able to go out to our warehouse and measure this for you. I found that from the flange to the top of the ball platform is 3.033 inches. I have linked an image of this measurement for your convenience.

- 2 Inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for Equalizer Weight Distribution SystemFor a 2 inch hitch ball that fits the Equalizer Weight Distribution systems we have the part # EQ91-00-6080. You should note that this has an 8,000 lb trailer weight capacity though.
view full answer... - Replacement 2" Ball Mount For Equal-i-zer HitchThe 2" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems - 8,000 lbs, part # EQ91-00-6080, is a 2" ball mount that is compatible with your Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch. This ball mount was designed specifically for the Equal-i-zer weight distribution system. I have included a product description and a video demo link below.
view full answer... - Does the Weight of the Weight Distribution System Count as Tongue Weight When Picking Out WD SystemThis is a very good question, but you do not need to count the weight distribution system as added tongue weight when you use it. We have had several weight distribution manufacturers come out and specify this. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for 19 Foot 3000 lb Lightweight Travel TrailerBecause a travel trailer has a lot of surface area for crosswinds and traffic caused turbulence to act against, I'd highly recommend using a weight distribution system that provides an incorporated sway control component. To choose the proper system, you'll need to know the tongue weight of the travel trailer when it's fully loaded and ready to go. Anything packed in the truck bed behind the rear axle ALSO needs to be considered as tongue weight. Assuming that the 350 lb figure you mentioned...
view full answer... - Best Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for a Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser 19ERDFor your Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser 19ERD, I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37060ET which is rated for a total tongue weight of 200 lbs - 600 lbs. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of the loaded and ready to tow trailer added to any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System is considered to be one of the best systems on the maret. It has a four point sway control system which is unlike...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2012 Nissan Armada Towing a 2017 R-Pod 176TThe best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. The Reese system the dealer is pushing...
view full answer... - Recommended Socket to Install a Ball on a Fastway e2 HitchTo install a ball, like the Equal-i-zer # EQ91-00-6080, you will need a 1 7/8 inch socket that uses a 3/4 inch drive. The Equal-i-zer Thin Walled Socket # EQ70-00-4800 is ideally suited for this application. The torque rating on the ball will also be the same between round bar and trunnion bar systems and will depend on the specifications listed from the manufacturer. This will be the socket I suggest for both a round bar and trunnion bar weight distribution systems as well.
view full answer... - Availability of 2 inch Hitch Ball for Equal-I-Zer Weight Distribution SystemYes, Equal-I-Zer actually makes a 2 inch hitch ball for use with their weight distribution systems which is part # EQ91-00-6080. This would work well with the part # EQ37060ET if that is the kit you have.
view full answer... - Recommendation for an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution and Sway Control With a 700 lbs Tongue WeightThe Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control, # EQ37100ET, would be the correct model weight distribution system needed is your loaded tongue weight will be about 700 lbs. The system is rated up to 1,000 lbs, so there will be some room for you if you decided to carry cargo at the rear of your vehicle behind the rear wheels. Any cargo loaded behind the rear wheels will have to be figured in to your total tongue weight. The Equal-i-zer system includes a 2-5/16 inch...
view full answer... - Can the Equal-i-zer 10K Be Used On a 5K Trailer If Upgrading SoonI have spoken with Equal-i-zer in the past and they have said that you can go with the larger system (to an extend) in light of upgrading the trailer down the line without any adverse side affects. Therefore, the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37100ET would work well for you. The advantage is that you can upgrade when needed without replacing parts not necessarily that the higher rated system will work better. Please note, the above Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System...
view full answer... - Can 2 inch Hitch Ball Fit Blue Ox SwayPro part # BXW2000Yes, a 2 inch hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank like the part # EQ91-00-6080 would fit the head of the Blue Ox SwayPro part # BXW2000.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution With Sway Control For 3,800-Lb Tent TrailerThe trailer hitch is not considered for tongue weight when calculating total tongue weight. You do need to know the total tongue weight which is the tongue weight of your trailer when it is loaded and ready to tow added to the weight of cargo placed behind the rear axle. The 280-lbs you said is your tongue weight sounds a little light. I would expect the weight to be closer to 400-lbs for a 3,800-lb trailer unless most of the weight is in the back of the trailer. Based on the numbers you...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution With Sway Control For 2008 GMC Yukon Towing CamperSince you are towing a camper that weighs nearly as much as your Yukon I recommend installing a weight distribution system with sway control. To find the right system for you, you will need to know the total tongue weight of your camper when it is loaded and ready to tow added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of your Yukon. You may find that you have an additional 200 to 250 lbs of cargo. The system I recommend is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution, part # FA92-00-0800....
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for 3,700 lb Travel TrailerWe have not had any issues with weight distribution systems bending trailer frames. If your trailer happens to have an aluminum frame that could be an issue though. You would need to check with the trailer manufacturer if the frame is aluminum to see if that would still be recommended. If your travel trailer weighed 3,700 lbs the tongue weight would be between 370 and 555 lbs. The FastWay E2 part # FA94-00-0800 would be perfect for that tongue weight range. Especially if you consider the...

This trunnion system has sway control built in and is designed for tongue weights between 250 and 600-lbs. You will need a hitch ball for this WD system. for a 2-5/16 inch ball I recommend part # EQ91-00-6100, and for a 2-inch ball use part # EQ91-00-6080.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System For Trailer Being Towed By Two Different VehiclesWeight distribution is recommended when your fully-loaded ready-to-tow trailer weighs more than half of your towing vehicle weight. Another reason is when the tail lights are pointed upward or the rear end of the towing vehicle is sagging. One method for determining the tongue weight is to use a scale like part # 5780. This is the Sherline tongue weight scale and it has a 2,000-lb capacity. As you add weight to your trailer like a generator or potable water, it will depend where the...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution For Trailer With 600-Lb Tongue WeightThe best way to determine what system will work for you is to know what your total tongue weight is. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully-loaded-ready-to-tow trailer added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You will then want to find a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight range for the system. Getting a system that is too small will be useless, but getting a system that is too big...

However, when you use a weight distribution system on a vehicle with airbags or an auto-leveling system you will want to let the vehicle try and level the trailer to the best of its ability and then engage the spring bars. In order to use this system you will need a hitch ball,...
view full answer... - Can Vehicle Tongue Weight Capacity be Exceeded for Short Trip before Adding WD SystemI know it might not be what you want to hear but I really can't recommend towing your trailer, which has 500 pounds of tongue weight, with your SUV that lists a 400 pound maximum tongue weight without a weight distribution system. Even for a short distance at lower speeds there is still the potential that this vertical weight could damage the hitch or your vehicle and it wouldn't be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. If you can find a way to hook up a weight distribution system...

For a 2,800 lb dry weight R-Pod with a GVWR in the 3,5000 lb - 4,000 lb range the best option for a weight distribution hitch is the Fastway e2 because it is the best value. It combines quality with ease of use, superb sway control, and a price tag much less expensive relative to other systems.

If the 658 pound tongue weight you mentioned is with the trailer loaded I recommend taking a look at the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-1000. The...

In fact, it is even somewhat encouraged as the manual states the use of a sway control device which most weight distribution systems have is needed for trailer's over 2,000 lbs. There is some truth to uni-bodies having a weaker structure than body-on-frame configurations but not so much so that you cannot use a weight distribution...
