Got mine at http://www.dyersonline.com
You will want an idea of your hitch weight first, to get the right size.
And you may need a special long drop shank.
The Equal-i-zer web site http://www.equalizerhitch.com/
can help with both hitch size and shank size.
Good luck.

THey have a calculator there that takes into account what you have in the bed behind the wheels as well. I would guess if 800# empty you will be ~1000# loaded and 1200# bars would be about right.

Ended up going with a Centerline TS which seems to be very similar to the Equalizer 4-point. Had the dealer set it up, measured when I got home (front was 1/4" higher when hitched than with no trailer, did not measure the rear and that measurement was with nobody in the truck while normally there are four of us).
Much smoother ride while towing that is for sure.
A guy pulled in with a 1/2 ton Ram crew cab towing a toy hauler and the rear of his truck was so much lower than the front it wasn't even funny. Only explanation I have is that his hitch is set up for when he has something heavy loaded in the trailer.
