You can absolutely add a friction sway control kit to your Reese Weight Distribution Hitch.

All you need is the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660.

The head of the Pro Series system has tabs on both sides that will allow you to utilize the friction sway control. I recommend using two of these sway control kits - on on each side - if your trailer is longer than 26 feet.
