Forget the kit, just set-up your load properly, maintain the correct air pressure in the tires, and have your brake controller accessible in case of an emergency where you need to apply just the trailer brakes.
I would either run without the friction bar or with a sway-prevention hitch... sway 'reduction' scares me too much. Once there is enough force to overcome the friction bar, you are likely never getting control back again. When I get a slight sway, I adjust my driving and correct (a little gas applied, or a little bit of trailer braking applied)

I've towed my current 30' Jayco first with a 1/2 ton Burb and now with the 3/4, for around 4000 miles with no sway control and NO SWAY. This includes all manner of trucks and semis passing in either direction and a storm with 40mph crosswinds. I'm a firm believer that a properly set up rig should not sway.
If money wasn't an issue, I would go with a sway prevention hitch, but I'm perfectly comfortable towing the way I am.
