    Mike Wowk Who freakin' cares?

    I started a thread in "the CHOO CHOO SHOP" truck and towing section about trailer sway control. If anybody has any good info please post it there. Thanks

    Is it really this easy?

    Would a sway bar help, Mike? :Brow:

    I had one of those friction sway controls and wasn't impressed. I couldn't tell any difference if it was on the hitch or in the trailer. I am looking for something better. I found some VERY IMPRESSIVE systems from www.hensleymfg.com but the $2900 price tag is a little out of my range:rolleyes:

    Mike, that still works off the same principal a the Reese Duel-cam hitch that I got on my Dodge, but about 75% cheaper, I mean less expensive:rolleyes: thanks Jim

    Jim,
    Your saying that the hensley hitch and the reese dual cam are basically the same principal? If so thats what I thought too.

    Mikey, your problem is over hang, as in belly:cool:

    On my 95 Dodge V10, I had this same problem. I used the dual cam AND the friction control setup and it became very manageable. Not perfect, but 100% more secure than the single bar torsions. I went back to the single bar with my dually. I may even have the dual stuff laying around here. If i find it,. i'll send it to you to try out.

    Sounds good Jim, I would love to try before I buy. If you want to sell the stuff let me know.
