If you didn't get a manual from dealer, go here: http://www.equalizerhitch.com/pdf/EQOwnersManual.pdf
The Equal-i-zer(TM) controls sway thru friction at 4 points - two weight-bar sockets and two L-brackets. Manual calls for specific torque on the bar socket bolts of 45-65 ft-lbs, and a bit of grease on the friction surfaces of the sockets (see Manual). You may also use Sway-Bracket-Jackets from mfr on the L-brackets to quiet the hitch.
The E2 hitch from the same mfr is a different animal - only the L-brackets provide anti-sway friction, and no lube or Sway-Bracket-Jackets are permitted.
I tow a 28-ft TT with a '06 Tundra Double-cab and Equal-i-zer hitch w/ SBJs.
