Sway bar is important. When I check into a campground and while my vehicle and trailer are straight I disconnect my two bars and the friction bar before going to my site, takes less than a minute.

Thanks Beverly, what about this recommendation if going in a driveway with a severe dip. Is it going to do any harm, or should I throw the flashers on and unhook for this dip? Would it really do any harm if I don't disconnect for severe dips? Or is it just the severe side to side like when backing?

I too would disconnect for backing for backing over dips or tighter turns. I have read my weight distribution hitch owners manual from cover to cover, nowhere does it mention or recommend disconnecting the torsion bars when backing. The system just makes a bunch of racket when backing which indicates stress. I don’t think it hurts a thing to take the few minutes it takes to disconnect them.
