I was looking at the Anderson No Sway online last night- wondering why you would not recommend it for a heavier TT?? I was considering it for my combo.
Whether the Andersen will work for your TT depends on what your load transfer objective is.
Prior to circa 2011, Chevrolet/GMC specified that the WDH should be adjusted to return the front end to its unhitched height. This implies a Front Axle Load Restoration of 100%.
Now, Chevrolet/GMC specifies that, for some vehicles and tongue weights, a FALR of 50% is sufficient.
Andersen WDH user reports indicate it is unlikely that you could achieve 100% FALR if using the Andersen hitch with a 1000# tongue weight.
The average FALR for 1000# TW was about 60%.
OTOH, it appears likely you could achieve 50% FALR with the Andersen WDH and 1000# TW.
