You really should find out WHY it is swaying, and fix it. A properly setup TT should NOT sway in normal driving, even without sway control. So you should check your setup, your TV tires, Your tongue weight, and get the sway gone. THEN, and only then should you add sway control.
Sway control is NOT designed to allow you to keep the trailer under control. It is only to help control sway once it is induced during an emergency maneuvering event. Dodging, a deer, of accident. Using it to allow you to control the TT in normal driving is very dangerous. At some point the sway could come out from under the sway control band aid, and bite you.
My TT is 31'. Towed by a 154" WB F150. I have NO sway. I have even forgotten to install the sway bar, and still have no sway, even when being passed by the big trucks. If you are swaying. something is wrong.
