Equal-i-zer Sway Bracket Jacket Set of 2 — Nylon Replacement Sleeves for 6K–16K Equalizers, Noise-Reducing

The Equal-i-zer Sway Bracket Jacket (Set of 2) 95-01-5150 are durable nylon replacement sleeves designed to reduce noise and friction on 6K–16K Equal-i-zer sway brackets.

If your trailer’s Equal-i-zer hitch is showing signs of wear or you’re hearing excess clunking from the sway bracket area, these jackets slip over the metal brackets to protect components and quiet movement. Manufactured from long-lasting, resilient nylon in the USA, the pair replaces worn sleeves on compatible 6,000–16,000 lb models (not compatible with 4K models). They’re a straightforward, low-cost maintenance item that can extend the life of your equalizer hardware and improve towing comfort.

How do these jackets improve the towing experience?

These replacement sleeves act as a buffer between metal parts, reducing direct metal-on-metal contact and the rattles that come with it. That softer interface lowers vibration transmission into the tow vehicle and can make short and long drives quieter and smoother.

• Absorbs shock and dampens noise from sway bracket movement
• Minimizes abrasive wear on equalizer components
• Maintains consistent bracket fit to reduce looseness over time

What materials and construction should I expect?

Each jacket is molded from durable nylon formulated for wear resistance and weather exposure. The material resists deformation under typical towing loads and holds up against dirt, moisture, and temperature swings encountered on the road.

• High-quality, long-lasting nylon with good abrasion resistance
• Precisely sized for a snug slip-fit over the sway bracket
• Manufactured in the USA to consistent quality standards

Which Equal-i-zer models are compatible with these jackets?

These sway bracket jackets are made to fit Equal-i-zer equalizers rated from 6,000 to 16,000 pounds. They will not fit the 4K (4,000 lb) model—installing the wrong size can lead to poor fit and uneven wear.

• Compatible with 6K, 8K, 10K, 12K, 14K, and 16K Equal-i-zer models
• Sold as a set of two jackets—one per sway bracket connection point
• Not compatible with 4K Equal-i-zer models

How simple is installation and ongoing care?

Installation is a quick slip-on replacement that typically requires no special tools—remove the old sleeve, clean the bracket, then slide the new jacket into place. Routine visual inspection and occasional cleaning is all that’s needed to keep them performing well.

• Slip-fit installation; usually no tools required
• Inspect periodically for tears or excessive wear and replace as needed
• Wipe clean of mud and debris to prevent accelerated abrasion

Who is this for: Trailer owners and fleet managers who use Equal-i-zer hitches rated between 6,000 and 16,000 lbs and want an affordable way to reduce noise, protect equalizer hardware, and extend component life. It’s ideal for DIY maintenance, service shops, and anyone replacing worn sleeves with a genuine Equal-i-zer accessory made in the USA.
