Here is a link to a thread addressing this topic and shows how Blue Ox Sway Pro
resists sway with a push/pull on the tongue via the spring bars
I'd personally go with higher rated bars than lower rated bars and
fine tune it via the amount of pull up by the chains

Without your setup specifications, all is out of context and just adjusting
the dials/knobs/etc...plus tossing in parts changes without really
knowing what the heck...
What are your:
- TV GVWR
- TV FGAWR
- TV RGAWR
- TV GCWR
- Trailer GVWR
- Trailer GAWR
- Trailer length
- Trailer actual weight
- Trailer actual tongue weight
Mod's to the TV? - Lifted and whether suspension or body
- Tires/wheels
- etc
A sideview picture, on level ground would help tons and is part of
what others are saying that the setup is key, along with the properly
sized components. Orientation of the setup, on level ground, is to
have the TV drop as per the manual and the trailer level at it's highest
pointing...I like pointed slightly down and that has solved several
I've adjusted (only thing done) and many here on these forums
There is anti-sway built in via the architecture of how the bars provide
resistance to both directions of swing. Discussed here:
