Be aware the new Blue Ox Sway Pro is not the same as the old style that everybody loves. I went through a mess with them and the dealer who sold it trying to get things sorted out. They completely changed the design without telling anyone about it.
The head is no longer tilt adjustable. It is cast at a preset tilt. If you want to put more or less pressure on the bars without using the chains, you are out of luck.
The sway control is no longer adjustable! They used to have two bolts at the bottom of the head to adjust the resistance to movement. Bolts are no longer there. Again, it is a preset adjustment and there was very little tension at all on the two I received.
They basically dumbed it down as much as possible. Nothing is adjustable other than how many links you pull on the chain. The only thing they kept was the rotating latch (very nice) and the pretty much grease free setup and use.
I ended up sending it back since I didnt like any of the changes and went with the Andersen system. So far I love it. Zero grease, no noise, no porpoising and quick hookup.
