:H The Equalizer IS a friction based anti sway system. Often folks use the TERM Equalizer in place of Weight Distributing System but Equalizer is a brand of weight distributing hitch that DOES use friction based anti sway integrated into the hitch.
Reece Duel Cam is a system that uses detents in the spring bars fitting into cams to proactively control sway. Friction based anti sway will exert the same force in KEEPING the trailer/tow in a curve position as it does in keeping it straight. The Duel Cam exerts nearly zero force when straightening out from a turn but a whole LOT of force to maintain that straight line when going straight.
The Equalizer is a very GOOD hitch so don't think I'm putting it down. Just understand that it IS a friction based system.
Good luck / Skip
