You have already towed the trailer without sway control and know it is dynamically stable so hook and go.

WDHs are largely popular with Travel trailer owners for the most part and not the other majority of the trailer towing world.
Couple reasons.
1. Needed with weekend warriors towing their heavy tongue weight trailers occasionally with little trucks.
2. Sway control needed sometimes because some TTs are not built to tow well, they’re built to sell well. (Too much weight aft, axles too far forward to reduce excessive tongue weight). So some just wag the dog all day.
You have the truck, you’ve towed the trailer and it doesn’t have issue #2.
Go get a 2.5” shank drop hitch and let er rip!
If you don’t get an adjustable one, get your trailer hooked first though to see how much squat the truck has so you get the right drop height the first time.
