Help on sway control and hitch

ok, thanks; that's what I thought I had read in the past.  it's interesting however that none of the sellers of these mention this, unless it does in the instructions.  curious however, why while backing?

Originally posted by hogone sleepless:  I was talking about a bracket that gets welded to the receiver hitch for the ball for the sway bar to attach to.  ya, the bracket that attaches to the pod is screwed in.  I found a bracket that just fits under the ball however, like the picture jloftin60 posted.  i think outbound used the bracket that gets welded onto the receiver hitch.  hope that all makes sense.  do you find that a sway bar helps alot?

Most WDHs come with the hole for a sway control bar already drilled in the receiver hitch on the right side of the coupler ball.  I assumed you already had a WDH.  As the others have said, a sway bar makes all the difference in the world.  Once I have the tension lever set in the best position, I have never found a need to further adjust it.  When I have to remove it, I turn the lever 2 complete turns counter-clock wise to loosen it, remove the pins at each end and it comes right off.  Then, when you mount it again in the future, slip it on, insert the 2 pins, turn the lever 2 turns clockwise to set it, and you are done.  It takes only a matter of seconds to do it each time.

We tow our 177 with an Armada -- which is a plenty big tow rig.  But I still opted for the anti sway.  No sway problems at all.  Now if they can just find a way to take care of that little bit of disconcerting sway that comes with the grooved freeways around here . . . but then again everything sways on that!  

I'm about to order an E2 WDH/sway set-up for our 177 on the 4runner TV. 600/6000 or 400/4000? Oddly, the 600/6000 is cheaper but sounds like it needs more weight on the ball to hit the sweet spot. Advice appreciated.
