Reply:Sway bars? Do you mean sway control, or weight distribution bars, or actual sway bars like on a truck?I would just buy them, whichever the case.City of L.A.

Reply:ALthough the principle appears to be simple - introduce enough friction to make it tough for side to side motion. I can't imagine making a sway control bar being worth the trouble.  The couplings for the mini ball hitches would be a pain.Hobart LX235Victor 250 Oxy-Acetylene Rig (welding and cutting)Bobcat 773F-350, 1999, 4x4, 16' 10K# trailerOutdoor Wood Burner - 10 cords/year
