I've had both the friction type and a DC and there was no comparison. The DC is an "active" system that applies more pressure as needed and just does a better job of keeping the trailer tracking straight behind you.
The friction units worked OK for a few years but eventually wore out and would get contaminated with rain, road scum and grease and would eventually have little effect and get noisy.
The DC is NOT a active type sway control. It is a friction control. It utilizes friction somewhat differently. There are some threads that go into this in depth. Our resident engineer Ron Gratz is involved in most of them.
Yes I know about those discussions and both I and Reese disagree with them completely.
The Reese uses spring tension.
I don't know where you got that but,,, One of those threads has a quote from Reese stating that the DC is friction based.
I have read all those posts and never saw that. PROVE IT!
