I went from a 2500HD with extra rear leafs using a Reese Pro Series w/1000# bars with a single friction sway bar. To a 2016 1500 with tow pack towing a 6k# Jayco 23rb using the same hitch it worked perfectly on both trucks.
I Sometimes take the friction bar off and tow without it on back roads to a campground. Handles the twisty's fine , the trailer just lays there right in the pocket. Having a well balanced combo is the ticket, a lot less work for any hitch to do.
My dealer installs any and all models of hitches and likes the ease of the Pro Series,so that's was what i went with .
The friction bar does NOT bother me to have to undo it to back into a site. I remove it when i register at the gate.
Friction sway bars have to be removed before you back the rig up while making relatively sharp turns. Backing up in a semi straight line is not an issue.
