For that TT you need 2 of the friction bars.
JMO here but I would ditch that WDH and get a premium hitch like a Hensley Arrow or Pro Pride. Your TT @34'4" OAL and over 8000 lbs loaded will be a load for that F150. Doesn't matter the tow rating as they're over hyped somewhat in the 1/2 ton class. I towed 31' @7300 lbs with a 2010 F150 Max Tow 4x4 145" WB using an EQ WDH with 4pt sway built in. It was a load on a semi windy day.
I found a used Hensley Arrow and used that for my final season. Very, very stable in all conditions. Passing semi's side by side didn't faze the truck or trailer.
JMHO here but that truck and TT will setup will need all you can give it.
