The Equal-i-zer 4 point system is a weight Distribution system first. You should have a weight distribution system for your truck and trailer. The anti-sway feature in the system is simple friction resistance of the bars against the L-Bracket, instead of chains hanging down to the bars like a Reese old-style (which requires a separate sway control bar then). I do not see how the Equal-i-zer anti-sway (friction) feature would affect the anti sway feature in the truck.
From what I understand, he feature in the truck is designed to pulsate the brakes in the opposite way the rhythmic sway is occurring, thus, stopping the sway. The Equal-i-zer is designed to keep the sway from starting in the first place. The Equal-i-zer will react first (by simply friction). If sway would occur, then the truck will attempt to stop it.
With the Equal-i-zer, you have the best of both.... get the Equal-i-zer and drive comfortable!
I have the Equal-i-zer with a 35 foot trailer. To the best of my knowledge, I've never had sway, even in high winds. I've been pushed around, but not sway.
