One friction-style sway control can be used for trailers with up to 6,000-lb GTW. If your trailer's GTW is between 6,000lbs and 10,000lbs, you will need 2 sway-control units, 1 on either side of the trailer. You will also want to use 2 units if your trailer is 26' or longer.

In the weight class and length switching to a weight distribution hitch with sway control would honestly be the best option for you. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800 has a tongue weight range of 400lbs - 800lbs and offers sway control to help keep your trailer tracking behind you. I recommend actually checking your fully loaded tongue weight with a scale # e99044 and choosing a WDH that will have your measured tongue weight land around the middle of its capacity range.
