To add a stabilizer bar like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 to your E2 Weight distribution system, you will need to your weld on a sway control tab # 3442. This friction bar will help to stabilize your trailer sway and is adjustable. It does have a quick release pin for when you need to back up as this unit is not designed to be used when backing.
