Helpful Expert Reply:
The best way to fight trailer sway is to have the trailer loaded properly by having 10-15 percent of the total trailer weight as tongue weight and by having the trailer sit as level as possible. I attached a help article that details how to determine the correct rise/drop ball mount you would need.
If you can move cargo (or motorcycles), forward in the trailer that should help with sway.
For a sway control system that will help prevent sway due to wind or large vehicles passing the part # 83660 would work great.
