Trailer ball binding

How do you know if its to tight? Well, along time ago there used to be a commercial of a sedan pulling a medium sized trailer, and the equalizer was so tight that the rear tires of the sedan were of the ground haha. Obviously that's to tight. All you want to do is take the sag out of the rear end so that it sits level. You still want weight back there, and you dont wanna over load the front of the truck, or the already loaded axles on the trailer.
Creaking is normal when pulling a trailer, it can be a number of things. from the tow vehicle suspension to the hitch to the trailer it self.

Not true on the Equal-i-zer hitch. The manual specifically states to use lubricant on the spring bars where they contact the L braces. I spray a little white lithium on mine every few trips and we have no noise at all.

Equal-i-zer states to use minimal lubricant such as liquid graphite to quiet the noise if desired... They actually recommend not lubricating the bars, as use of heavy oil or actual grease will negate the anti-sway capabilities of the hitch.
