You NEED real sway controls of some type. I always suggest that newbies start with a simple friction control, or in your case probably two of them. The reason is the simple design doesn't have to be dialed in as perfectly as many of the others that incorporate WD and SC together... In short, you can miss the setup by quite a bit, and still get some benefit from them.
My system now does have two of the trunnion bars, one on either side of the trailer tongue. But I know they function to resist movement AFTER it has begun. I'd rather try to prevent it in the first place.
