Can Reese Friction Sway Be Added To a Weight Distribution Hitch Pulling a 7,000LB Travel trailer?
Question:
Can the Reese Sway Control Kit single arm be used in addition to a standard WDH for pulling a travel trailer? Would like a little more stability over what the WDH provides. 2019 GMC 3500 SRW pulling a 7K lbs 27 ft travel trailer.

Expert Reply:
You may be able to use one or two of the Reese Friction Sway Control Kits # 83660 depending on the weight distribution system you are using. If you can tell me what hitch you already have I can help you determine if you can add this.
As it sounds like you are looking for the best sway protection you can get pulling your 7,000lb travel trailer you will want to check out the ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch # PR97QR.
