I saw a response here that indicated the friction sway component was at the L brackets. That is not the case. It's at the head.
One thing to note: when the tech at the dealer set up the WDH the truck was loaded with stuff, much of which we would move to the camper during the trip, as we decided what belonged in the TT and what we should put elsewhere. We had to pack carefully since we were picking up the TT then pulling it to a campground for the week.
Since the truck had no rear sag when hitched and the combo had very little sway, I assumed that the dealer had set the WDH correctly, or at worst close enough.
