I second what SoundGuy has suggested. Why dampen sway or wonder if you need sway control when you can eliminate the possibility altogether and never give it another thought. Hensley and ProPride 3P hitches are pricey but worth every penny. Best money I ever spent to make my trips much less stressful.

I am positive that the Hensley maxes out at 14K.
Pretty sure the Pro Pride does too.
So, not a match for this TT.
UVW for this trailer the OP is talking about is 8885 lbs so the question then is how much C*** does the OP intend to stuff into it? 1000 lbs is generous enough for most of us but even if the OP added a whopping 2000 lbs it's GVW still wouldn't top 11,000 lbs. A respectable 13% gross tongue weight would be ~ 1400 lbs and certainly within the capabilities of a Hensley Arrow or ProPride 3P. For a trailer this heavy and this long I'd certainly be considering the best hitch setup I could find.
