Re: [RC] opinion on sway bars - Karen Sullivan

Sounds a bit like overkill.....if your hitch is the correct LEVEL to keep
the trailer also level, then I see no need for sway bars (unless you do
freeway driving in an extremely windy area?).

I did have an equalizing hitch with sway bars on my old set up, which was a
Dodge dually with a huge camper, plus a 5 horse stock trailer.  It was the
only way I could be legally rated to tow that trailer since I had an
extended hitch due to the camper hanging over back of truck.  It was a
weight equalizing hitch (Husky), with a Reese Titan hitch and
extension....made me safe to tow 10,000 lbs.

I have a Ford F250 that pulls a Trails West 2-horse slant load, bumper
pull. Has anyone got any stories/opinions on the use of sway bars?
