The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution part # RP66558 that you referenced is both a weight distribution system and a friction sway control setup too. The brackets that hold the spring bars have friction pads built into them so that if your trailer was to sway the spring bars would slide on the brackets creating friction and would reduce the sway. However, this isn't the best sway control setup that is also a weight distribution system.

Instead the Reese Strait-Line is what you'd want if you were looking for the most stable. The friction systems reduce sway that has already started whereas the Strait-Line works to prevent it before it starts as it always tries to keep the trailer as straight as possible. For your loaded tongue weight of 350 lbs you'd want the # RP66082 which has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
