The issue I have when using it with the equalizer hitch is I cannot get all the washers to go on. There is not enough clearance to angle the equalizer back (it hits the front of the Gen-Y). I got 3 washers on and its candidly not enough. I wonder if the lighter weight Gen-Y would work....but its too expensive to try as an experiment.

Following up on this issue for anyone who searches the forum down the road….
As I mentioned, when I originally got the Gen-Y, I wasn’t able to install sufficient washers for the equalizer. I ultimately went in a different direction and had a Propride installed (obviously worked amazing). I got a new trailer and thought I would would give this a try again.
First, a bit of a backstory…. With my original trailer, the dealer had “thrown in” a Equalizer hitch as part of the deal. Once I got home I realized it was a 16k equalizer hitch (ridiculous). That was why I immediately wanted to try something to smooth it out.
Fast forward to today, I bought a new 10k equalizer locally (so I could return it if it doesn’t fit). It turns out the APPROPRIATE weight Equalizers work GREAT on the Gen-Y. So as long as you aren’t putting the 16k equalizer on a 16k/17k Gen-Y, you will be fine!
The end…
