Before I comment on your comment on my comment on your comment on . . . :)
I made a statement earlier that WDH by themselves do little to eliminate sway. But maybe they do. With the application of a 2000# load 30" from the ball coupler (as in your example), it does move the center of gravity of the TT forward. I must assume that this should help eliminate sway to some degree, since sway is a function of the position of all of the loads on the trailer in front of and behind the TT axle. (The mechanics of sway don't separate the distribution of the trailer weight from any other load applied to the frame.) Is that true?
I guess I should try to do more of my brainstorming in the light of day rather than the middle of the night as I sometimes do. I look back at some of my posts as less than clear and maybe contradictory. Sorry.
