Towing 28.5' 7500 lb TT with 2004 Ram Diesel, have a WDH, and we put the anti-sway piece on every trip, but never use the WDH bars. Never any problem.
Although you have never had any problem towing without the WD bars, I suggest you take a close look at the receiver on your truck. If I remember correctly, the weight carrying limit on the stock receiver that year is 550lbs. If your tongue weight is above that you should be using the WD bars.
With a 7500lb trailer, your tongue weight, when ready to go camping, is most likely around 1000lbs. That is well above the rated weight carrying capacity of the hitch unless you have replaced the receiver with an aftermarket one.
I would urge you to use the bars. It only takes a couple of minutes to hook them up and you will probably find the ride of the rig to be much better and you will be safer to boot! :)
