For the dual friction you are looking for, I recommend adding the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit - Economy - by Draw-Tite, Reese and Hidden Hitch # 83660 to your hitch ball. This adjustable friction sway bar can be added using the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts - Class III and IV # RP26003 or the 1-1/4 inch ball mount bracket # RP26005. It is recommended to pull the cotter pin to disengage this bar when backing up.

You can also expand this system by adding another bar to your trailer, but you will need to weld a tab like # 3442 to your ball mount.

For what you are looking to do with the 2 friction bars, I recommend the Replacement Weight Distribution Bolt-Together Round Bar Head # PS58442 you referenced. The bars and mounts will give you that friction sway control you are seeking. You can use your old shank for weight distribution with either head assembly.

Are you looking for just a standalone friction bar or a full weight distribution system with integrated sway control? If it's just a sway bar, we only have a couple options from the manufacturers you mentioned (the Curt # 17200 and the Reese # 83660). Between those two options I like the Curt # 17200 because it includes an adapter block if needed and is a bit more economically priced.

If the loaded tongue weight (TW) of your trailer is around 2,300 lbs then any weight distribution (WD) system that is rated for a max of 1,200 lbs TW will not be strong enough to help out at all. Check your TW to ensure that it is 10-15% of the…

The exterior length of your Sonic Venture SN231VRK is 26-1/2 feet which is just over the length where a second friction sway control system is recommended of 26 feet. So your best option would be to install a second #83660. Typically, to add a second…
