Can a Reese Sway Control Be Used on the Left Side of a Trailer

Question:

Just purchased a new truck and a travel trailer.. The tongue weight is 770lbs and the GTW is 10930lbs. I bought the Pro Series with sway control with ratings of 1000lbs TW and 10000 lbsGTW. These limits for GTW will never be approached. My question is I want to install a sway control for the left side. Seems I cant find a sway control for the left side. Im wondering if I can use one for the right side and just turn it upside down..Is that possible????????Thanks The truck is a 2012 F150 with 8000lbs TW and 13500 GCVW.......

The Reese Friction Sway Control # 83660 like what you referenced can be used either on the right or left side of a trailer. To switch sides you will need to remove the slide bar and then reinstall it upside down. For trailers 26 feet long or more, it is recommended to use two friction bars.

Check out the installation instructions for this product that I attached. I also attached a link to a very similar question where there is a video on how to do exactly what you want to do.
