When crosswinds, passing trucks, or uneven pavement try to push your trailer around, the Blue Ox SwayPro keeps it steady and in line. The hitch head has a built-in positive caster angle that works like your vehicle’s steering alignment to help the trailer self-center. Constant tension in the trunnion bars adds another layer of stability, keeping your trailer directly behind you without the jerking or fighting that comes from standard setups. The tighter chain design at the lift brackets limits bar movement so everything stays quiet and smooth, even when the road doesn’t.
No one likes the creaks and pops that come from friction-style sway systems. The SwayPro avoids that by using rotating clamp-on brackets that hold the chains tight and stable. Only a couple of links hang free, which keeps the spring bars steady and eliminates the grinding and clanking of metal-on-metal setups. The result is a silent, confident ride that feels like the truck and trailer are one single unit.
Getting this system ready is quick. The hitch head comes with the correct angle preset, so you don’t have to mess with washers or hard-to-reach bolts. Just bolt the head to the included adjustable shank, slide in the trunnion bars, and secure them with the provided clips. To tension the lift brackets, drop the chain into the slot and rotate with the included wrench until the lock pin clicks in. No heavy lifting or snapping bars into place—just a clean, quick setup that most folks finish in well under two hours.
Trailers with bottom-mounted couplers need the right hitch head geometry, and that’s exactly what the SwayPro BXW0553 provides. It’s built for underslung designs and maintains proper ball angle to keep your trailer level. The unit fits 2" x 2" receivers rated for weight distribution and handles 350 lbs to 550 lbs tongue weight with a 5,500 lbs gross towing weight. The durable, powder-coated steel construction resists corrosion, and the integrated grease zerks make maintenance simple and clean.
The SwayPro evenly distributes tongue weight across all your axles, preventing sag and restoring control. Your headlights stay level, your steering remains responsive, and your trailer tracks straight behind. With its 2-5/16" hitch ball, 8" maximum rise, and 2" drop adjustment built into the 13" shank, you can fine-tune height for a perfectly balanced rig. Everything you need—head assembly, spring bars, lift chains, brackets, and hardware—is in the box, ready to go.

It works really well. I’ve have other types, and this one works as good but is much easier to connect.
