I had the Equalizer hitch when we had our Raptor TT. It squeaked and moaned when turning something awful, but that is how it works. The friction between the steel bars and the L brackets is what prevents sway and it does this extremely well in my opinion. I did eventually have to replace the electric tongue jack on the trailer. The jack did not catastrophically fail, it just quit working. This could have been due to raising the TT to remove the Equalizer bars, or not, I don't know. I replaced the jack with one that had a higher weight rating and good reviews. Worked perfectly.

I found that the Equalizer hitch worked great at distributing the weight and preventing sway. If the squeaking bothers you while parking at the campground you could remove the bars after arriving and before parking. I did not.

Hope this helps.
