I used a Curt bottom end WDH with friction bar on my F250 and 11.5k lb toy hauler with no stability issues towing that combo for 80k+ miles. I sold the toy hauler and switched to a 10k lb enclosed trailer and truck camper. The trailer tracks so well, I do not sway control connected. Eventually the hitch head wore where the spring bars attached and had to be replaced (about 90k miles on the WDH). I now have about 25k miles on a Harbor Freight WDH towing the enclosed trailer with the last 5k miles towed by my 5500.
If you have the hitch set up properly and the tow combination properly proportioned, you do not have spend a lot money or effort on stability. My toy hauler sat higher and had taller side walls which caught more air when passed by large vehicles. This was the only reason for the friction slide, otherwise it towed true with just the WDH.
