Friction sway control for 30'er?

I bought a 29'(35 overall) trailer, and can get a bit of sway, especially around big rigs. I still need to buy a wdh, but am wondering if I will be happy with a cheaper setup that uses the separate friction sway controllers, or if I should just save up some money and get something like the curt trutrack or an e2. I tow with a 2016 ram 2500.

    Still getting my RAM and Dual Cam dialed in for our 34 footer. I'm almost there but need a little more spring bar tension and to lower the ball.
    One thought; Dont try to go cheap. You'll just end up replacing it soem day with the good stuff.
    Also, VERIFY tongue and overall trailer weights! Do not trust what the manufacturer tells you.
    My tongue weight is supposed to be either 975# (per sales literature) or 880# (per sticker in trailer). Toungue actually weighs in at #1500+!!! (no liquids and very little anything else.)
    Trailer weighs more than #1000 over spec too.
