Comparing Reese Steadi Flex and Pro Series Weight Distribution
Question:
What is more effective for sway control? A hitch like the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66559 or the Reese Pro Series #49570? Is the Steadi-Flex worth the extra money for a part-timer?

Expert Reply:
If you are looking for a cost effective solution the Pro Series part # 49570 would be your best option.
The Steadi Flex part # RP66559 is an overall much better setup as it has trunnion bars which offer better ground clearance and additional friction sway control in the head of the system.
You do get what you pay for with weight distribution systems, but if sway isn't a huge issue with your trailer the Pro Series will work well still.
