    Equalizer 4 point sway hitch for 26RK

    I dont know whether to get the 1200# or the 1400# for the vibe 26rk. Has anyone else used 1 and what did you go with and what has been your experience. I'm towing with a lifted ram 2500. I think it's a 4 inch lift on the power wagon model.

    The book said nothing about mounting the snap hooks to the trailer. Here is my question, Do you have to drill and bolt the snap hooks to the trailer? The only video I found showed the snap hooks not being bolted to the trailer. But mine have bolt holes. Thanks for the information.
