I used to pull with a 1 ton van and needed the trailer anti sway bar hooked up. Pulling with a 1 ton single wheel (with air bags and truck sway bar) will I need the trailer anti sway bar. What are your experiences?

With the van yes with weight distribution and sway bar. no issues at 55mph. Pulled it 800 miles home in a 1 ton single cab dually with no sway bar no weight distribution at 70 mph no issues (truck had air bags). Just wasn't sure about a single wheel.

The DRW trucks are night and day difference in sway compared to the SRW. If you have the option to run anti-sway I think it's worth your time investment to do so.
I have the option and what my thinking was too. Didn't have the option with the dually, but man it was solid. So much different than the van.

But with adjustable rear air bags is WD Hitch even needed? Will rear sway bar on my truck help the trailer sway in any way? Thanks

I figured I would use the WD Hitch, just the anti sway bar part and the air bags to level it out. I pulled it home with a dually, it was so nice. No sway at all, but little cross winds. Thanks

How do air bags differ from WD Hitch? Don't they both distribute more weight to the front axel?

So, pulling a 10,000 lb camper with a 3500 srw I should be will under my limits. Do I even need to use the weight distribution bars?
