I bought my 16' used and it came with a 10,000 lb. capacity Equil-i-zer. It was really overkill and the ride was always stiffer than I thought it should be, on the Liberty and on the trailer. I recently changed to a new 6,000 lb. hitch and I am so much happier. Much smoother ride and still well within my weight capacity needs. I considered the 4,000 lb., but I want to add an extra battery to the front of the Bambi and I think the hitch weight will be over 400 lbs.

Thank you! You see, this makes more sense to me if you go the WD route, (from what little...very little.. I know and understand) This helps me a lot. Those big 10,000+ things seem like they would do more harm than good. But what do I know? This all still seems so subjective...it's really hard to figure out what to do. Thanks for your help!

We're going to check out the Equil-i-zer, maybe 4,000lb. Thanks so much!!
