Pro Tip: Before you invest in a weight distribution hitch, make sure your cargo is evenly loaded in your trailer to keep the weight balanced. If you still have a hard time even after balancing your tongue weight, a weight distribution hitch should help.
Note: Neither of these sway control systems will work with surge-type actuators.
People often conflate sway control with weight distribution. It's understandable because most weight distribution systems on the market today do solve issues with sway.
This system will give you weight distribution only. It doesn't have any sway control built in. But if you find that you need sway control later, it's super-easy to upgrade to Reese's Strait-Line sway control system by adding on the dual-cam brackets (RP26002 - sold separately).
Get the Full Setup: If sway control is something you need right now to keep your trailer from getting squirrelly, take a look at RP66074 for a complete Strait-Line system.
Alternatively, you can add a friction sway bar (sold separately) for a little more reinforcement. This option allows you to easily dial in the amount of tension with the turn of a handle. This adjustability is nice (even if it takes you a few trips to get it just right), but it doesn't play well with surge-type actuators (neither does the Strait-Line dual cam system), and it will have to be removed when backing up any time you tow on wet or slippery roads.
The easy-to-use, serrated washers on this system make adjusting the tilt of the weight distribution head a snap. This is a huge improvement over the standard pin-and-washer method, which involves piling washers onto a difficult-to-access pin. The serrated-washer system lets you easily loosen, adjust, and tighten a single washer and nut on either side of the head for simple, secure positioning.
Your tongue weight is the first thing you need to know when figuring out which weight distribution system you need. Most people think that if they get the highest-rated system possible, it'll be smooth sailing. But actually, this will create a rigid ride and a bouncing trailer. On the other hand, if the system isn't strong enough, it won't be able to distribute the weight properly, making it virtually useless.
Once you know your trailer's tongue weight, add it to the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Then just choose a weight distribution system rated for that combined tongue weight.
