You need to go to a scale and get some real numbers if you really want to fix this and not take a poke in the dark.

Then use your friction sway control and see if it does the job or if you need to add a second one or get a better system.

If you guess and don't properly adjust, your just asking for troubles. Safety is no place to gamble when you will likely have friends or family with you when your towing your trailer.
