The WDH with chains doesn’t provide sway control. Sway control resists the hitch acting as a pivot point when you have cross winds or get passed by a semi. On the chain WDHs you can by a sway control bar but from what I have read it doesn’t do enough.Daniel,
Thanks for the real world experience. You have given enough details about your set up for people to make some comparisons with their own set ups.
What don't you like about chain WDH's? I have never run the solid ones like you have, those are new to me.
(And I have run a lot, some good, some on a wing and a prayer)
with my WDH most of the weight of trailer is torquing the rear of the truck up so the weight is even on both axels. All this weight is met on these bars where there is a friction pad. Let me tell.. there is a reason these things are rating 8-10k. When doing turns, you can hear the bars working and it’s loud. It’s doesn’t allow sway.
Key is when towing a trailer that more than half your tow rating you NEED the following:
1) WDH with built in sway control, with friction pads, set up CORRECTLY.
2) a brake controller set up CORRECTLY.
3) don’t drive fast!
