FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes, but not significantly and not by as much as you might be thinking, and we believe the compromise is worth the added safety while on the road. Tow-It Series Sway Bars are tuned for Sway resistance, not stiffness. Independant suspension is without doubt the best way to ensure stability on rough terrain, however if you spend allot of time on highways before arriving at the dirt road, a sway bar kit will get you there with more comfort, safety and confidence. If you are researching how to stop trailer sway, caravan wobble or lean you will know what we mean.
Yes, if you like — a sway bar and a weight distribution hitch serve different roles. Use both together for the most stable towing setup if your tow vehicle and caravan or trailer allow and require it.
- Sway bar = reduces sway and roll
- Weight Distribution Hitch = distributes weight more evenly across axles
