Recommended Surge Brake Compatible Weight Distribution System for a 3,000 lbs Trailer
Question:
Looking for a sway bar for surge brakes. Got one? I’ve got a 2005 T@b 320s with Al-ko trailer coupler with surge brakes. Thanks

We sure do! It looks like your TAB 320 S Tear Drop Camper tops out a 3,000 lbs which would give it a tongue weight range somewhere around 300 lbs depending on how you load it.
For a surge brake compatible weight distribution system, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0450. This system works with trailer's that have up to a 400 lbs tongue weight so you won't feel like it is overcapacity. It has built in 2 point sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your tow vehicle when you are driving down the highway and encounter a strong gust of wind or get passed by a semi.
This system includes a 2" shank but it does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.
