Snip... I`m sorry to say that there is no sway control effect from the attachment points at the hitch head. it would take quite a bit of side to side trailer movement for those 2 points to help out that it would be to late!
I`ll go with the DC every time!
Dodge guy,
Those bar sockets on the Equal-iz-er provide the MAJORITY of the sway control on the hitch. There is a tremendous amount of friction developed between the upper surface of the bars socket and the lower surface of the hitch head when the WD bars are drawn up on the L brackets, plus there is a pinch bolt that is tightened to a specific torque that squeezes down on the sockets.
The friction of the bars and the L brackets surface is a secondary point of sway control. Hence Equal-i-zers claim of "4 point" sway control - two bar sockets/hitch head contact and two L bracket/wd bar contact.
