They are a separate purchase. I got them on Amazon for about $20, w/prime shipping.
I emailed the company before I bought them and they said they do decrease the anti-sway friction, but not a lot. I've had no issues with them. They show no signs of wear after a few hundred miles of towing.

Been using Equalizer for years and it has been great. Had chain type WDH on previous camper and would never use one again. There are several brands similar to Equalizer and they all advertise their advantages but for me it is an Equalizer; basic and get the job done with proven results.

I have now taken my second trip and my Equal-i-zer WDH seems a whole lot noisier as compared to the first. I did not lubricate anything since at first I did not notice all the noise I am getting now. It is weird, I expected to see extreme wear where the bars contact and slide on the trailer frame. Not much there. The real wear and metal shavings are where the bars pivot at the hitch. Is this normal?

I have a EZ hitch which is very similar to yours. Do not lubricate the bars where they rub against the brackets on the A frame, that is what keeps the trailer from swaying.
You can lub the ball and the area where the bars attach to the hitch on the truck.
Somebody sells some plastic pieces to put between the bars and the A frame brackets, which will quiet the hitch, but if you ask me that will interfere with the sway control.

You are supposed to grease where the bars attach by the ball. Look at you manual or look at website to see location, otherwise you will wear the hitch prematurely. The plastic pads on trailer brackets work good and don't compromise anti sway ability

This is correct except there is a minor reduction in the sway control. I asked equalizer before I bought the pads and they said it's usually not noticable.
My hitch was horribly noisy because we didn't lube it or the ball. The hitch gouged up my ball on the trip home. Once I started greasing the ball and the bar hinges it got more reasonable. The pads seemed to help a bit.
