Equalizer or Dual Cam.....which is better?
I'm pulling a V nose TT at about 8,000 pounds with my 2013 Ram 2500. The hitch that cma with it is the standard WD hitch with round bars and a single sway bar that pins to one side of the hitch. ...

I have a 29' TT that I tow with the Equal-i-zer 1,200/12,000 hitch on the extended shank.
The TT weighs in at around 7000 ± 300lbs on the axles and 1,100-1,300 on the tongue, about 8,500 max. I tow it with my sig truck, which has a similar rear suspension but different front suspension to your 2013.
It's a great hitch, I can't even tell the trailer is back there most the time and only feel it every now and then in 30mph cross winds (not white-knuckle even in those circumstances). I have towed this trailer over 7K miles with the hitch, as far as 400 miles one-way and lots of short trips on winding mountain roads at speeds up to 65-70. It's a great hitch and would recommend it to anyone.
I often question how much better the ProPride or Hensley could be when the camper tows flawlessly, doesn't ever sway, bounce, or push the truck around.
I will say that I did have to add a rear sway bar when I upgraded to this trailer as I got some TV rear axle sway (aka body roll) from the equal-i-zer bars on slow speed sharp corners on FS roads (mainly since they aren't very level).
