Expert Reply:
Unless you want to add a weight distribution system a simple sway bar like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 you looked at should take care of your problem. If you want to use weight distribution we would need to know the loaded tongue weight of your setup.
In addition to the # 83660 you will also need a ball mount with a sway control tab like the # D320. If you used this particular ball mount then you would also need a reducer sleeve like the # 325-GH-007. If you need a different rise/drop you could weld a tab # 3442 onto a different/existing ball mount. You could also use a BulletProof Hitch # HD256 and add the # 358SWAYCONTROLBALL. It really just depends on your setup.
