<h3>Equalizer: Engineering Excellence in Towing Solutions</h3> <p>For nearly eight decades, Equalizer has built a reputation as one of America's most trusted names in towing equipment. Founded in 1945 and originally based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the brand has dedicated itself to keeping families safe on the road through innovative engineering and unwavering quality standards. The Equal-i-zer hitch is the only sway control hitch that is 100% American made, reflecting a commitment to domestic manufacturing that ensures every component meets the highest standards of durability and performance.</p> <p>What sets Equalizer apart in the towing industry is its pioneering approach to integrated safety systems. It is the only hitch available with 4-Point Sway Control™ - a unique system that integrates sway control and weight distribution into one unit. This innovative design eliminates the need for cumbersome add-on sway devices, providing superior control when passing semi-trucks, navigating crosswinds, or making sudden maneuvers. The engineering behind these systems has earned Equalizer consistent recognition from the trailer community, with Equal-i-zer has received this award every year, and is the only trailer hitch on the market to be awarded Gold for the Trailer Life Readers' Choice Award.</p> <h3>Premium Towing Solutions Built for Reliability</h3> <p>Equalizer's flagship <a href="/1551-equalizer-trailer-hitch-1212">trailer hitches</a> exemplify the brand's dedication to both safety and ease of use. Each weight distribution hitch transfers tongue weight evenly across all axles, maintaining proper steering and braking control while keeping the tow vehicle stable. The brand's product line extends beyond hitches to include essential towing components like <a href="/1551-equalizer-winch-accessory-kit-19186">winch accessory kits</a> for securing loads, heavy-duty <a href="/1551-equalizer-jack-14315">jacks</a> for trailer maintenance and positioning, and reliable <a href="/1551-equalizer-hitch-pin-clip-17352">hitch pin clips</a> that keep connections secure mile after mile.</p> <p>Every Equalizer product reflects decades of refinement and real-world testing. Every hitch is engineered and manufactured in the USA using the highest-grade, American steel for long-lasting durability and superior performance. The brand's attention to detail extends to practical features like adjustable brackets that accommodate different trailer heights, pre-installed hitch balls torqued to factory specifications, and compatibility with both 2-inch and 2.5-inch receiver sizes. Whether you're towing a travel trailer, boat, equipment hauler, or cargo trailer, Equalizer's engineering ensures your setup delivers confidence-inspiring performance in every driving condition.</p> <p>Beyond the core product line, Equalizer continues innovating with specialized accessories like <a href="/1551-equalizer-tire-string-17397">tire strings</a> for emergency repairs. This comprehensive approach to trailer equipment means you can build a complete towing system around components designed to work together seamlessly. With more than 75 years of experience and a lifetime warranty backing their products, Equalizer has earned its place as a go-to brand for anyone who values safety, quality, and American craftsmanship in their towing equipment.</p>

The Equalizer 42-99-2800 Flash Weight Distribution Hitch delivers the proven 4-Point Integrated Sway Control® performance Equal-i-zer is known for, packaged in a straightforward configuration rated for 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight. This unit ships with a 2-inch standard shank featuring an 8-inch rise, making it well-suited for setups where the trailer coupler sits significantly higher than the receiver hitch.
Designed to fit any 2-inch receiver hitch, the Flash hitch head accepts both a 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch hitch ball, offering compatibility with a wide range of trailer couplers. The integrated 4-point sway control system uses four friction points built directly into the hitch — eliminating the need for separate add-on sway control devices.
Key Features:
The Equal-i-zer Flash is a reliable, no-frills weight distribution hitch solution for towers who want the brand's industry-recognized sway control and weight distribution performance in a clean, easy-to-use package. Hitch ball is not included and must be ordered separately.
