The ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Sway Control for 2" Receiver # PR57QR requires a 26" distance from the coupler down the tongue for the frame brackets. If you have the space then this is would be a great option to help minimize swaying. Having used one before I can say with confidence that this is the Cadillac of weight distribution hitches and also doubles as a theft deterrent since you need the specialized shank it comes with in order to couple up to the trailer.

It is a lot of work to install and weighs a ton when you're trying to lug around the shank/mount. You'll also want to ensure that you check your spacing between the tailgate and top of the mount/shank otherwise you'll end up with some scratches like I did when I left my tailgate down as I was moving the trailer in the parking lot.

I've attached two of Dave's videos below going through the installation process that I recommend watching to see the installation process and pick up some tips.
