In order to use the dual cam sway control, # RP26002, you would need to have a Reese weight distribution with the cam end on the spring bars like # RP66022 as an example.

If you do not have this style or weight distribution then you may be able to add a friction sway bar like # 83660. You would then need a bracket (if you do not have a weight distribution head already that can accept this type of sway control). For Class III and IV ball mounts use # RP26003. For Class II ball mounts use # RP26005.

I have included a link to a video review of this sway control for you. I have also linked your FAQ article on weight distribution and sway control for you.

The best defense again sway is the proper loading or distribution of the weight of the trailer. If the tongue weight is not where it should be that can lead to increased chances of sway.

The dual cam setups are still the best sway control around as they do the best at preventing sway before it starts due to the way they want to force the trailer to stay straight behind you. So the Strait Line part #RP66084 that you referenced would…
