Re: Friction sway bars and weight distribution

Sway bars are OK because they don't change the weight distribution on the vehicles. On a small popup with the proper tongue weight, you shouldn't really need one. I tow a 3,500 lb popup without one and it just doesn't have any sway behind the RL. I assume you are referring to a friction sway bar so if you do use it, be very careful on how you adjust it. Having it too tight can cause damage either to your sway bar or trailer tongue. Most sway bar manufacturers recommend that you disconnect it when backing up, which is a real PIA.
