In order to be able to use a dual cam sway control like a Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control # RP26002 you will need to have spring bars that are bent at the end of them. Check out the picture I attached that shows which bars will work and which will not.

For a curved bar that is in the same weight range as your Pro Series Trunnion Style Weight Distribution Kit # 49586 you would want a Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar # RP22225. This will allow you to use a Dual Cam Sway Control # RP26002.

I also attached an FAQ article on weight distributions systems that has a section on sway control systems for you to check out.

Hi John; the Reese 06623-099 has been discontinued since 2011. In the past we have had someone successfully replace theirs using the #RP58167 but it will also require replacement spring bars since the ones you have now won't fit. If you let me…
