Does Sway Control Unit Need To Be Level With Trailer
Question:
Does the sway bar need to be level or parallel with the trailer A frame. Mine has about 1.5inch to the hitch.

Expert Reply:
The sway control unit needs to be as level as possible. This prevents the unit from being in a bind and possibly failing. You did not say if there was a change in the vehicle you are using or if you are using a different ball mount.
I have attached a link to the ball mounts we offer. You didn't say if the sway control or trailer needs to have a rise or drop so you can check out the product page and see which one will let you tow on a more level plane.
