Question on dual cams
Can I use this type of bar and just purchase the dual cam part and convert? With my trailer, the friction sway is OK i just want something better. Thanks PS this was my storage method not...

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.
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.
Just how does spring tension stop sway? By FRICTION! So does the EQUALIZER! And so does the friction controls.
You didn't read My post so I'll answer again: It uses spring tension to control sway. The part of the bar that rides on the DC has little or no friction thats why you can lube it and it has no effect of sway control.
You have claimed that Reese said something on here that goes against all their advertisements - Please Prove It.
