Over hitching, "does not" give superior performance.

Secondly, in time, it will tear up the front end of your Airstream...

I started this thread seven years ago and am happy to report that I continue to successfully use the 1000# bars along with the original Equal-i-zer 4-Point Sway Control Trailer Hitch that was installed by Southwest Coaches where I originally placed my factory order for a 2007 Safari with 2 solar panels and the awning package.

I am happy to report that the front end is not torn up.

In fairness, I believe part of my success is that I chose the 2-wheel drive F-250 SuperDuty diesel and not the 4-wheel drive, which I understand has a stiffer suspension.

Over the years I have continued to use white lithium grease in the usual places. To keep the messy grease under control, I store the bars in custom made tubes, and I clean up with Gojo Orange Hand Cleaner.

I went to adjust my brackets and discovered that since I got the trailer a year ago one side was higher than the other side. Yes, the dealer did it. One more thing to,add to the miserable experience at the worst dealer in America.
Why did it take me a year to notice?
Now that everything is adjusted I want to,weigh again to see if there is less wight on the rear axle and more weight on the front axle.

Been out a week and took a day off to do some tune ups. I tore apart then whole hitch and cleaned and re-greased the whole thing really well. Left the brackets bone dry. The hitch is completely silent now. All the creaking and groaning was coming from the front part of the hitch.
