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.

The Equalizer 90-02-5116 is an OEM replacement 16K L-bracket designed specifically for the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch system rated at 16,000 lbs. This bracket is a critical component of the hitch's Integrated 4-Point Sway Control system, working alongside the spring arms to deliver both weight distribution and trailer sway resistance in a single assembly.
The L-bracket mounts directly to the trailer frame tongue and serves as the friction contact point for the spring arms. When the spring arms are raised and engaged, the L-bracket's rigid design resists movement caused by trailer sway, actively keeping the trailer tracking safely behind the tow vehicle. The bracket is height-adjustable to fine-tune the level of weight distribution tension on the spring arms.
Key Features:
Keep your Equal-i-zer hitch performing at its rated capacity by replacing worn or damaged L-brackets with this genuine OEM part. Always replace hardware with the correct grade fasteners as specified in the 16K owner's manual.

I was pretty happy with the service. I ordered the part on a Sunday afternoon and paid $9.99 for 2 day delivery and it arrived on Friday 5 days later so not sure I got what I paid for in that regard.

Bought wheels for a trailer, they arrived in a timely manner. The product picture was a little misleading but overall happy with the purchase.

Shipping was a bit expensive. Sure you folks didn't have anything to do with that. Would use you again.
