Equalizer vs Dual Cam
I am currently pulling a roughly 9,000 lb 34' camper with a Reese Round bar WDH and friction sway control. My bars are rated at 1,000 lbs, I am sure tongue weight is substantially more but they seem ...

Has there been any comments on bar ratings? I assume that the EQ bars care available in different ratings? I am assuming that different bar ratings on the EQ setup has little influence on sway control or does it? On the other hand, the higher the bar rating is on the DC, the more friction there is between the bar and cam and better sway control?
I can say that we initially had 800 lb bars on our DC setup and then learned that our actual tongue weight is 960 lbs. I just installed 1200 lb bars and there is a HUGE difference. The truck tracks nice and straight and smoothly now in comparison to the smaller rated bars. The rear of the trailer appears to bounce a lot less. It seems in my case that the increased friction of the heavier bars makes a big difference in the friction and sway control.
Both systems have different sizes available, and both will have more friction the heavier one goes.
In fact, these systems are not recommended for light tongue weights.
At least by EQUALIZER.
