F150 Towing Sway

I did some research about the WD over the weekend and found that I may have to move the chain link tighter one. I did that on the way back from camp and it relieved the bouncing issue on the road, but not sure if that was really related or not. I'm getting information from the trailer stickers tonight (we have the trailer at a storage place).

We looked at the weight going in and it seemed okay between everyone we spoke with, but I am concerned the conversation may have been more centered on the sale than the safety. It will be a bad thing if this doesn't work out safely.

Thanks for all the information and I'll keep plugging away to get this as best as it can be. I'm sure I'll be here often.

First of all, the advice above is correct except you don't need to go spend a bunch more money on an integrated sway control hitch. When we just need to set up the one you have correctly.

We can "probably" get yours dialed in,

We need to know a few more facts... You gave us the facts on your truck, now we need the same information from your trailer.

The number one and number 2 cause of trailer sway is insufficient tongue weight and too light of a front tow vehicle axle.

The second sway bar on the other side of the trailer is needed but will not solve your bad set up. Fix the WD first then we can worry about the friction dampeners. (Once set up correctly it will pull better)

We need more details about the trailer first...

Thanks!
