Probably. Depending on your anti-sway system. You definitely want the anti-sway system active. Some WD hitches such as the Reese Dual Cam require the equalizer bars to be connected so the anti-sway system will work.
Also, when you don't have the equalizer bars connected, the weight on the front axle of the tow vehicle is reduced, so you have less postive steering control.
And what Rusty said. Your hitch weight is probably over 800 pounds. Your receiver is probably rated for a max of 600 pounds hitch weight without a weight-destributing hitch. So you receiver would be severely overloaded and therefour dangerous.
