Expert Reply:

With the McHitch on your Obi Dweller 13 I have a couple recommendations since you will not be able to use a traditional weight distribution hitch. The McHitch changes the pivot point from the ball to the u-joint so it will not work properly with any current weight distribution hitch. Instead you can mount Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F29ZR on your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. This will allow you to take much of the rear end sag out of your rear suspension. You can use the Air Command Compressor System # F2610 to control the air pressure in your springs from your smartphone using the Ride-Rite app.

To reduce sway you can add the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. This uses the electric trailer brakes to reduce sway. It uses a sensor mounted on the trailer to detect motion and applies the brakes to either the left or right side as needed to reduce trailer sway.
