Weight Control Systems

Towing a heavy or uneven load requires more than just a hitch and a trailer. Your car, truck, or RV needs extra help in these situations - Eckharts installed Ride Rite helper springs can level off-center loads, boost load capacity, eliminate suspension fatigue, improve ride comfort, increase stability, improve vehicle handling, and maintain proper headlight aim. EAZ Lift Load Equalizing Hitches can help balance heavy loads, while our adjustable sway controls help reduce sway and add confidence at highway speeds, on curves, and in heavy crosswinds.

You can rest assured that the same quality and commitment to safety that's built into every Eckharts product can be found in all the tow-assist controls we install. We'll never settle for an "off the shelf" solution when a custom fit is required.

That's why Eckharts' track record, for more than 80 years, is second to none.

Eckharts and Eaz-Lift

Starting in 1952, when I was just a kid, MH Mathison, the founder of Eaz-Lift, would stop by my Dad's shop at Pico & Sepulveda, and sell my him the first Eaz-Lift load equalizing hitches out of the back of his pickup truck that he had built in his garage. Vacation, Standard, Standard D and the Jumbo, were available for the lightest to heaviest trailers.

Since conception, their basic design is unchanged; state of the art from the beginning.

I've been around Eaz-Lift all my life.
I've seen others come and go, break then fail and fail to perform.

I remember my Dad telling me we made the least amount of money on them but they are the best. So that's the only thing we sell.
That's the Eckharts mentality.

So whether you buy from us or elsewhere, take my advise, don't buy any other brand!
