We towed our 32.5' TT for a year with a Reese HP trunnion style hitch without the sway control arms installed. No sway but an occasional waggle from passing trucks. Nothing scary or dangerous but annoying with long lines of trucks on weekdays. I saw a barely used Equalizer 4 point 10k on ebay close by for a song so I bought it last summer. No more waggle from passing trucks. While lubing the sockets per the manual and the ball before each trip, I'll smear a little lube on the L brackets. Lube on the L brackets does reduce sway control a little but not enough to notice in our case. Our Equalizer is silent as a result. I imagine the bracket jackets would do just as well if not better.
Just a FWIW,

X2 on the Bracket jackets. No mess from grease, quiet, affordable, and they prevent wear on the brackets/bars. Probably enough to pay for the jackets over time.
On my last EQUALIZER before the jackets came out, my brackets were showing pretty good wear (I don't grease them) and would have needed replacing if I had not sold it with that TT.
