sway bars
Sold my TC and am looking at a 19ft TT. I have a 2009 GMC 2500 HD to tow with. I am not as strong as I used to be and would need some easy to use sway bars. Any suggestions.

I'll second this suggestion
and I'll third the suggestion. For a 19ft trailer you probably won't need much force to transfer the needed weight and a electric tongue jack should make it quite easy to put the spring bars on.
I have a 14ft cargo sport trailer, about 6K lbs with 600lb bars. with the electric jack I could jack it up enough to attach the bars w/o using the "cheater" bar. Usually don't jack it that much but I could.- Depending on tongue weight you might not need a WD hitch.
- Ya probably do not need sway bars for a trailer that small , I pull a 21 foot with a Ram 2500 , no sway or sway bars .

I'll second this suggestion- Attaching bars to the hitch is easier on some. Mine bars go “up and into.” The “down and into” are easier.
