How to address unequal commitment in founding teams

We're a founding team of four and we all quit our jobs to do this startup but two of us are clearly working 80 hours a week while the other two seem to treat this like a side project and no one wants to be the person who brings up the equity conversation. The resentment is starting to show up in weird passive-aggressive ways.

What we've seen

Two of your four founders barely work, but nobody dares bring up splitting the equity fairly.
