The sway control has no effect on how the truck rides at all. It makes no difference whether it is a round bar hitch or a trinnion style - either will work exactly the same.
I suspect your ride problem lies with your tires and, perhaps, with the way the hitch is adjusted but most likely it's the tires. Air bags should not be needed when using a properly adjusted WD hitch unless you carry a lot of cargo in the truck bed. Were it me, I would air down the bags to the minimum necessary to keep them from self destructing and lower the tires also and see what happens to the ride.
Just keep in mind that the Dual Cam sway control has nothing to do with it. All it does is try to keep the trailer behind the truck instead of beside it! :E
