We don't actually carry the Eaz-Lift Weight Distribution Systems but I can definitely help you add sway control to your setup. Even if you think your towing setup is level without the existing system I still recommend keeping it because it's just going to add more stability to everything to help with control and comfort on the road.

For sway control I recommend simply adding a friction bar like the excellent Curt # 17200. This will attach to the trailer frame and weight distribution system or ball mount to create tension that helps to keep the trailer in line behind your truck. This will prevent a lot of those dreaded white-knuckle moments on the highway and all the necessary hardware is included.

I have attached a short video review and the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
