The friction sway control bar # 83660 that partners with Pro Series weight distribution system # 49570 will not work on a trailer that has surge brakes. The braking system will not work properly. For a system that doesn't cost much more and that is rated for use with surge brakes and that still offers built-in sway control I recommend Fastway system # FA94-00-1061.

I have included some helpful links on weight distribution and determining tongue weight for you.
