Re: [A/S] Anti sway thing



crosswinds, big rigs blowing by you at 80mph, panic maneuvers - don't care
about weight distribution/load leveling... when the tail starts wagging the
dog, you'll re-think the anti-sway thing, i assure you.

after towing an empty 24' flatbed trailer (2000lbs unladen, 340lbs tongue
wt.) with the Durango from Las Vegas to Reno a couple of years ago without
sway control - with severe crosswinds and the proverbial 18-wheelers - i
will never tow anything without sway control again.

a one-time charge of around $180.00 for a friction anti-sway bar is cheap
insurance, IMO.
