If you are towing a larger trailer with considerable tongue weight, this is the only way to go. Much safer than a regular bumper hitch.
Well worth the money, great brand.

If you're pulling any kind of trailer of considerable weight, especially long distances, this hitch is a must. Easy to install.....took me about 30 minutes.
Pulling my 21' camper trailer, weighs 3400 lbs, behind a Chevy trailblazer. This hitch got rid of the sag, improved stopping and overall ride experience. No more sway. Well worth the money.

just had to take it easy and get used to the handling

Towed a boat (gross 8,000 lbs) with a 7.3L Excursion. Seemed okay, just had to take it easy and get used to the handling. Then I installed this (1,000lb w/ shank), wow, what a difference. I won't tow without it again!
Getting it adjusted the first time took about an hour, but once I got it dialed in, piece of cake. Adds about 5 minutes of time to hook up the trailer, but very much worth it. Also much more affordable than some of the other models out there.

wieght distribution hitch drawbacks
Flatlander✓ Verified Purchase•February 13, 2015
The unit works fine and is generally easy to use. Here are some exceptions and one tip.
1. The spring bars need to be greased with a grease gun. The grease is messy and excess grease can get on clothes. A competitor I read about uses oil instead, but I would think that is somewhat messy also.
2. The instructions say to grease daily. That is definitely overkill for short trips. A more useful measure would be mileage. My personal experience says 750 miles, but the real criteria is "How much grease is left on the bar?".
3. If the trailer is removed and the hitch is left on the tow vehicle, the sockets for the spring bars are left exposed to dirt. This is especially a problem on dirt roads. To fix this, I cut 2 inch thick foam just slightly larger than the sockets and stuff them in there when the bars are not installed.
4. I purchased this unit because it was about half the price of the competitor. If these drawbacks are not an issue, this is worth the money.

not the same

Replaced my vintage 1980 Eaz-Lift unit with this one for my boat trailer. After 'modifications', I found this one to be great.
The newer model has a different designed 'Quick Hook-Up' unit (the hinged part that attaches to trailer tongue) that has a poor adjust ment range and different footprint than my 'vintage' one. I opted to use the old one.
The 'Hook Up Wire Clip', for securing the 'Quick Hook-Up' is closed are not designed for regular use. Replaced with hitch pins from the hardware store.
The large 3/8 chain links are cumbersome and allow for little, if any, fine tuning. I replaced the chain with 5/16 galvanized high test chain.
The ball mount platform is a different design, so movement of the 'Quick Hook-Up' units on the trailer tongue is required.
Designed to accept a 1-1/4 inch shank towball, with a downgrade bushing to accept a 1 inch shank towball. 3/4 inch length is fine.
