Sway Control Unit Replacement for Reese Weight Distribution that Has Friction Sway Control

Question:

I tow a 23 foot travel trailer about 5000 gross weight loaded, with a 2013 Tahoe 5.3L with 20 inch wheels. I have a weight distribution hitch and one Reese anti-sway bar. I get minor sway when passed by large vehicles. Would a second anti-sway bar reduce sway more?

A second unit might work to help but if you have a spring bars with curved ends like they currently are made your best solution would be to go with a dual cam setup part # RP26002 as this works to prevent sway before it starts by attempting to force the trailer to stay in line whereas friction sway control only tries to minimize it once it's started.

A second friction control unit isn't normally helpful unless the trailer is over 26 feet.
