Besides the extra step of putting on the friction bar, you also need to take it off to back up.
Built in sway control is much less work, and, one less step to remembber.
INCORRECT INFORMATION on the need to remove when backing up.
Larry
I don't know that I would call it incorrect information when, many sway bar manufacturers recommend removal for backing up. Some, just say to loosen it, and, some don't say either way.
I had one (made by drawtite) that did not have the recommendation, it said "remove it". I forgot to remove (one time) and it ripped the ball mount out of the trailer tongue.
Here is another thread on the subject.
Do a google search, you'll find a lot more.
