I spoke with someone at Jayco who said that most of the 2019 Jay Flight SLX 8 264BH travel trailers have a coupler that matches a 2-5/16" hitch ball but since there can be some variances she couldn't guarantee that's what your travel trailer has.

If you already own the travel trailer then the coupler size should be stamped on the coupler itself. Otherwise the only other way to pinpoint the size hitch ball you need is to contact the seller.

We do have interchangeable ball mount sets like part # 900B which allows you to swap out the hitch ball size from 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" depending on your application. If you have a ball mount that accepts a 1" diameter ball mount shank then this would be a great option for you!

The benefits of an Equal-I-zer hitch over the e2 is primarily the improved 4-point sway control of the Equal-I-zer. The 4-point sway control utilizes steel on steel friction at the arms as well as in the hitch head to stop sway. The e2's 2-point…

The difference between the two systems is basically the attachment point. One is not better than the other except that the trunnion bars are a little easier to install than the round bars that require a clip to hold them into the head. For the round…

With most weight distribution systems (including this Reese kit part #RE94FR), you can back up with the spring bars connected as long as you are backing up mostly straight, but if you are going to angle the trailer and tow vehicle sharply you need to…

Answer 11

You'd be fine to have a weight distribution installed on your trailer as you travel on the hill you described. If anything it might help prevent the trailer from leaning excessively. For a 6,000 lb trailer you'd be looking at a tongue weight…

The best solution we have would be a longer weight distribution shank like the Equal-i-zer part #EQ90-02-4600 that you referenced which is 18 inches overall. This shank is perfectly compatible with your Reese system and is best option for adding…
