Reese SC Weight Dist. vs Equalizer

I'm having a bit of a problem with sway on my short wheelbase (only 112") Land Cruiser towing a 23 ft trailer with tongue weight of 780 lbs.
Currently use the Andersen. My question is this: is the Reese SC Weight Distribution System with Sway Control equivalent to the Equalizer hitch?

Also I'm intrigued by the Blue Ox system. How robust is the sway control on the Blue Ox?

In general, longer WB provides a more stable ride. Any trailer instability (side-to-side, or up and down) may be felt more readily with a shorter wheelbase.

I'm using an Andersen hitch, with a longer / heavier trailer, and not having issues with sway.

I agree with the others, who have mentioned doing more research. The expense of replacing your hitch, may or may not be your solution.

Is it possible you have some of these issues?

1. hitch ball height set too high (trailer tows nose up).
2. unbalanced chain tension = unbalanced sway control.
3. not enough chain tension .
4. not enough tongue weight.
5. unbalanced tire pressures.
6. unbalanced load.
7. sidewall flex in tow vehicle tires.
8. soft suspension on tow vehicle.
9. insufficient payload (maybe trailer is heavier than you think).
10. axle out of alignment on the trailer.
11. tow vehicle wheelbase, too short.
