I've had both hitches, the EAZ Lift and now the Equalizer. The Equalizer is a better hitch, but I think that is mainly because it does a better job of controlling sway than a friction sway bar. Just my opinion though from trying both, albeit on different trailers. Given that, I never had a problem with the EAZ Lift hitch.

Your story reminds me of when I picked up our JayFlight. Towing the TT home in a Tropical storm w/ 35+mph winds...It was the first time I towed anything bigger than our old pop up. Congrat's on your new toy....and may you have many years of healthy camping.

Just an observation, I believe the Jay Feather EXP 29A has a "dry" TT tongue weight of 570lbs. I'm sure once you departed the dealer that weight increased due to options (awning, LP tanks filled, etc.). Your actual "loaded" (ready for camp) TT tongue weight could be around 700 lbs, depending on your loading habits.
IMO your RV dealership should have supplied you with 800lb rated spring bars, not 600lb.. If you had some "bobbing" going on already, wait until you load-up the TT.

At least you got to take delivery on a Rainy day. I have always taken delivery of my TT's on Rainy days. Then I take a flashlight, and I find the leaks. You are already ahead of the curve. Make sure that the dealer fixes the leak, then get out their and take the Family Camping.

Yup, that's my thinking too. I mentioned it to them, and they said that the GVWR of the Jayfeather 29A is 6500lbs and 600lb bars are sufficient. I'll check around and find out.
Congratulations on the new rig. You will really enjoy it. Soon you will be wondering why it took you so long and be wondering why it's the middle of March and you haven't gone camping yet (like we are wondering). Anyway, maybe we will see you around the campgrounds somewhere. Just look for the dark red Titan and Cougar and come by and say Hi. Enjoy!!

According to the Jayco website the 29A has a UVW of 5,325lbs and a GVWR of 6,850lbs.
Let's assume that your TT loaded weight is 6,000lbs (realistic), and using the 10% to 15% rule for determining ideal loaded tongue weight, puts it at 600lbs (10%) to 900lbs (15%). Well, if you use the dealer's weight of 6,500lbs then the spread is 650lbs (10%) to 975lbs (15%). I don't follow your dealer's logic.
I now wonder if the dealer adjusted your WD hitch correctly .
Putting the tongue weight issue aside, I'm sure you will enjoy the new TT.
