Video Transcript for Review of Equal-i-zer Replacement Head For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems - EQ90-02-1200
Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a brief look at this replacement head for Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems. Now, this replacement weight distribution head fits Equal-i-zer systems rated at 12,000 pounds gross towing weight and 1,200 pounds tongue weight. The mounting hardware, the washers, and spacer rivet are sold separately but you can find them under the related products section on this product page. This is made in the USA from a steel construction and it's going to feature a black powder coat finish to help resist rust and corrosion.
And as you can see, it has the connection points for the end of your spring bar, and you line up the holes, and secure in place with a pin and clip. It has the ball, the hole rather, for your ball. And that is going to have a diameter of an inch and a quarter. And this unit does come with a new set bolt right there, which applies pressure to the weight distribution's shank. And then the shank is going to sit here and this is where your hardware would insert, and the space rivet, and the flat washers.
Now, because this replacement is from Equal-i-zer, you can have the confidence that it's going to fit your Equal-i-zer systems rated at 12,000 pounds gross towing weight and 1,200 pounds tongue weight. And that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

A little hang up with UPS, but etrailer was all over it and got it to me quick Thanks!
by: Bill06/06/2022
The unit was not for the faint of heart. The tolerances were very tight and didn't initially fit. The bars did not seat completely into the sockets. The hitch had to be taken apart the bars inserted and then the bolts reinstalled. In order to get the bars to move in the hitch I had to grind on the hitch faces. I suspect 25K miles will loosen things up. All in all it worked OK. Arrived in good shape and on time.

The hitch head I replaced was an Equalizer twelve K and the bars slid into the receptacles.The problem the bar would contact the vertical bolt about a fourth an inch short of the attachment bolt. I had to take the vertical bolt out slide the bar all the way in and secure it. Then install the vertical bolt. Then everything worked. The reason I had to grind on the bar receptacle was so I could move it. It was so tight I had to beat on it to get it to move. More of a polish and paint remover than a hard grind. I am currently on the road with the camper and by the time I get back Ill have about five hundred miles on it and then I can take another look So far it is working good but I havent taken the bar out of reccptical yet. Im going to wait until I get back.

I noticed after my last outing with my toy hauler, that my hitch head was cracked. My local RV dealer could not guarantee delivery of the parts in time for my next trip. I contacted etrailer.com, and was told that yes, I would have my parts in time. My parts were delivered on time, and with a significant cost savings over my local dealer.
I will be ordering brake parts from etrailer.com soon.
Thank you for great service!

Already had the 10k version.
Works great, but the Dunbar dealer undersized me-had to get the next one up.
etrailer rocks!

Great-finally. Unethical dealer sold me the wrong weight class hitch. After discovery I replaced with the correct weight class. It took 5 men, three boys and a hydraulic press and a 10# sledge to get the sockets out. Double that to get them back in. When torqued to spec I, could not even move the sockets with the sway bar. I he’d to back completely off the torque, put the bars in place with the help of two friends and then re torque I went to an empty parking lot, rig in tow and did figure 8s for two hours. I still had to but my fat a.. on the deck on push the bars into place. Have quite a few miles on it now and is still rather tight-but manageable. Yes, I would highly recommend this hitch regardless

Shipping was super quick and well packa ged
by: Dick K01/12/2022
The product I purchased was exactly what I wanted the only thing I would say is that the weight of the items were put in one box which ended up being pretty torn up and a struggle for the ups driver to remove from truck. Order should have been in 2 separate boxes or packaged so they would not move around.
by: Christopher02/02/2020
Replacement head is every bit as good as the original. Fit perfectly and we are good as new again.
by: BigD-Law01/15/2019
What I needed at the best price around. Needed a 2nd head for alternate tow vehicle. Free shipping was a bonus. Arrived one day before it was supposed to (another bonus). Great service all around.

I have the 1000/10000 pound version of this unit and am trying out this heavier version to use with my new pickup.
etrailer was prompt and had the best overall prices on my order.
by: John06/20/2022
This particular order went very well, however I subsequently placed another order on June 17th. When I checked on the order I noticed that while it was "in stock" it wouldn't be shipped until a week later. The previous order went so well that I was very disappointed that this order would take so long to ship.
by: Glenn 02/08/2021
The hitch I replaced was over 14 years old. This was a great deal when purchased.
by: Pat 11/20/2020
Everything was excellent including communications about part out of stock and they followed up and kept me notified at all times. Thanks again !!!!

Excellent communication! I did not receive one set of bolts I ordered however with the great customer service issue is already in the works to be resolved.

- How to Upgrade Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System to 1,200 Pound Tongue Weight CapacityIn order to increase the capacity of your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET to 1,200 pounds of tongue weight, you will indeed need to replace the spring bars. The Replacement Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 referenced in your question are the correct bars for this and will provide a 1,200 pound tongue weight capacity. In order to make this conversion, you will also need to replace the head for your system with the Replacement Head # EQ90-02-1200. This is because the existing...
view full answer... - Can Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution be Upgraded to 1,200 lb Spring BarsTo upgrade to a higher spring bar rating with an Equal-i-Zer system you have to replace the bars and the head since the bars are all different sizes and the heads are made to fit them specifically. So for bars you'd need the part # EQ90-01-1299 and then for the correct head part # EQ90-02-1200 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Upgrade Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution to 1,200 lb Tongue WeightWe do have the Equal-i-zer 1,200 lb tongue weight spring bars with the part # EQ90-01-1299 which it sounds like you are in need of. You should note that you'll have to replace the head of the system too since they are all different sizes based on spring bars that are installed. For that you'd need the part # EQ90-02-1200. The Reese bars would not work for you.
view full answer... - When Switching Weight Distribution Spring Bar Rating Is New Setup RequiredYou'll need a new setup when going to a different spring bar since the bars would be rated totally differently. The part # EQ90-01-1299 is the correct spring bars and then for the head you'd want # EQ90-02-1200.
view full answer... - Can Equal-i-zer Head be Used with Fastway e2 Weight Distribution SystemAll weight distribution system parts, except for the shank component that fits into your tow vehicle's trailer hitch, are proprietary and brand-specific. You will not be able to use a different brand head like the Equal-i-zer # EQ90-02-1200 with your existing Fastway trunnion bars and other parts. If you are still experiencing sway issues with your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-1200 installed, then there are a couple of things you can try that may help. I first recommend...
view full answer... - Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System with 12,000 Pound CapacityFor your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System with a 12,000 pound towing capacity, you will use the Replacement Head # EQ90-02-1200. This head will fit all Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems that have a maximum towing weight capacity of 12,000 pounds and tongue weight capacity of 1,200 pounds. If you also need replacement bolts, you can use part # EQ90-02-9100.
view full answer... - Can 1,000 lb Tongue Weight Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System be Upgraded to 1,200 or 1,400 lbTo change the tongue weight rating of an Equal-i-zer system you have to replace the head and the spring bars together. So you'd need the head part # EQ90-02-1200 for a 1,200 lb setup or part # EQ90-02-1400 for a 1,400 lb setup. For 1,200 lb bars you'd need part # EQ90-01-1299 or for 1,400 lb bars part # EQ90-01-1499.

To use your current spring bars you will need the 1,000LB Equal-i-zer Hitch Head # EQ90-02-1000.

- Upgrading 1,000 Pound Equal-i-zer WD System to 1,200 Pound Rating The spring bars aren't interchangeable on the higher-rated Equal-i-zer WD systems, but you'll still be able to use components from your existing setup when making this upgrade. To increase your system to the 1,200/12,000 pound capacity, you will just need the 1,200 pound Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 and a new WD head, part # EQ90-02-1200. The remaining hardware from your current system (L-brackets on the frame, adjustable shank, etc) can all still be used.
view full answer... - Will Higher Rated Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Spring Bars Increase Capacity Without Head UnitIf you have the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET you do need to add both the spring bars and head unit in order to increase the capacity of your system. So to upgrade to 1,200 lbs you would need to add both the Replacement Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems - Qty 2 - 1,200 lbs TW # EQ90-01-1299 and Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems - 1,200 lbs TW # EQ90-02-1200. To upgrade to a 1,400 system...
view full answer... - Are Sockets From Equal-i-zer Heads Interchangeable?I reached out to a representative of Equal-i-zer, who told me that the sockets from the 1,200 lb tongue weight head # EQ90-02-1200 will not fit in a 1,000 lb tongue weight head # EQ90-02-1000 because they are too big. If you need additional sockets for the 1,000 lb tongue weight head you would need replacements # EQ90-03-1000.
view full answer... - Do 1,200 lbs Equal-i-zer Spring Bars Fit in a 1,400 lbs Equal-i-zer Head?I have a solution for you but the spring bars are a slightly different size, so in order to go from 1,400 lbs spring bars to the 1,200 lbs Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer item # EQ90-01-1299 you would also need to get a new head unit. You will want the 1,200 lb Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems item # EQ90-02-1200.
view full answer... - Weight of Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Head vs Strait-Line Weight Distribution HeadThe weigh distribution head of the Equal-i-zer # EQ37120ET, which can actually be purchased with part # EQ90-02-1200 has a weight of around 21-lbs, so it's fairly light weight. I think you'll find that most of the weight distribution heads that are comparable to the Equal-i-zer are going to weigh in the 20 to 40-lbs range. I really like the Equal-i-zer system and think it has some great features, but I recommend going with the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control...
view full answer... - Can a 10K Fastway e2 Round Bar Be Converted to 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System? I recommend getting a whole new 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET to replace your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-1061. While it is possible to get the new Head # EQ90-02-1200, Ball # EQ91-00-6120, Hardware # EQ90-02-9100 and Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 you could run into warranty issues since the hitch was technically not acquired as a single unit. And with the Lifetime warranty that would not be something to just brush off. Since your unloaded tongue weight...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Pulling Heavier Trailer with Under-Rated Weight Distribution SystemIt sounds like you have the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET, which has a tongue weight capacity of 200 to 600 pounds. This will be quite a bit under-rated for your new trailer that has a tongue weight of around 1,000 pounds. I am not sure if this tongue weight is with the trailer fully loaded or empty. If this reading is with the trailer empty, this number will increase even further once the trailer is loaded and ready for a trip. I definitely recommend upgrading your...
view full answer... - How To Upgrade from Equal-i-zer 10K to 12K Weight Distribution SystemThe head assembly and spring bars are different on the Equal-i-zer 12K when compared to the Equal-i-zer 10K so you will need both the Head part # EQ90-02-1200 and Spring Bars part # EQ90-01-1299 to upgrade capacity. The rest is the same so you can reuse the other parts.
view full answer... - Changing a 14K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System to a 12K SystemI spoke with my contact at Equal-i-zer who said that the arms of the 14K Weight Distribution (WD) system # EQ37140ET and the 12K WD system # EQ37120ET are compatible with each other. In fact, he said they are the exact same bars. The difference between the systems actually stems from the head unit. To step down to the 12K system you will need to use the head unit # EQ90-02-1200 instead of the 14K head unit # EQ90-02-1400 that you are using. You want to make sure your WD system has a Tongue...
view full answer... - Can 1,000 lb Spring Bar Weight Distribution System be Upgraded to 1,200 lbSince the fender to ground dimensions are all level at 37 inches for all four fenders it sounds like you set up everything correctly. Now I noticed you said "no difference" is that because you aren't seeing a difference in sway reduction? If so, you should note that WD systems aren't really designed to prevent persistent sway. Is your loaded tongue weight 1,000 lbs or is it more than that? Is your system the part # EQ37100ET? If so this sytem is rated for up to 1,000 lb tongue weight max....
view full answer... - Can 1,200 lb Equalizer Spring Bars Replace 1,000 lb Spring BarsSince the 1,200 Equal-i-Zer spring bars # EQ90-01-1299 are wider at 1-1/2 inches than the 1,000 lb bars which are 1-3/8 inch you'd have to swap heads too. So with that you'd need the part # EQ90-02-1200 too to be able to convert from 1,000 lb tongue weight to 1,200 lb.

- How To Upgrade an Equal-i-zer 1,000 Lb Weight Distribution System to 1,200 LbsIn order to upgrade your Equal-i-zer 1,000 Lb Weight Distribution System part # EQ37100ET to the Equal-i-zer 1,200 Lb Weight Distribution System part # EQ37120ET you will need both the Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-02-1200 and the Replacement Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-01-1299. The heads are different which is why you just can't swap out the spring bars. The lower rated 600-1,000 lb systems all use the same...

This is not an issue at all. The trailer frame brackets that are used for the Fastway and Equal-i-zer systems aren't identical, but they are interchangeable between the two systems in terms of function. There's no need to swap your current brackets with...

If you end up needing to upgrade you just need the replacement head and spring bars for the 12K system: - 12K Head Unit # EQ90-02-1200 - 12K Spring Arms # EQ90-01-1299
view full answer... - How to Upgrade From 10K to 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution SystemTo upgrade your 10K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET to the 12K # EQ37120ET you need the following: - 12K Replacement Head # EQ90-02-1200 - 12K Replacement Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 Since these are a bit heftier you may need to adjust the setup of the system, but if you just walk through the installation instructions again you'll be able to ensure everything is setup correctly and make any necessary adjustments.

That said, it's pretty easy to switch to the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control part # EQ37120ET because all you will need is the Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ90-02-1200.

You mentioned you had to do some grinding to get the bars to fit. I just had a few questions about that. Since this is a replacement head for an Equalizer weight distribution hitch, were the bars Equalizer bars? And how much did you have to grind away to get the bars to correctly?
