Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for 5,400 lb Trailer

Question:

Im going to purchase a bumper pull trailer in the next days. The is trailer is 25 ft. long and # 5400 heavy, dual wheels. Would you recommend to get a weight distributor or a equalizer hitch?

Weight distribution systems and Equal-i-zer hitches are actually the "same thing". Equal-i-zer is a brand like Kleenex that became the generalized name of the system while actually just being a brand of a weight distribution.

For a 5,400 lb trailer the weight distribution system I recommend the Strait-Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features the best sway control on the market at preventing sway before it starts.
