hello, hey just picked up the same trailer ( 2015 ) about a month ago and we have been out a few times already, I had the dealer install a husky weight dist. hitch with a husky friction sway bar, it hooks up and tows really good with this setup without breaking the bank, I also bought a left side sway off amazon for 38.00 but I don't know if I am even going to put it on, because it seems pretty decent as it is, good luck with the trailer we love ours. take care joe

If you have sway control available, it really makes no sense not to use it.
There are a number of good systems out there. Many (myself included) swear by the Equal-i-zer 4-point WDH with integrated sway control.

I have the friction sway control on the right side that I use now with great results, but I read on here somewhere that folks were suggesting to use both on trailers over 25 foot so I picked up a left side, I still haven't had the chance to load my bike in trailer yet so I can not say if I will need the left after all, taking the bike along on a trip the last week of june so I will take it along with me and install it if it needs it. right now I am generally under 7000 pounds and it seems ok. thanks joe

You need to check out the Blue Ox you don't need the friction bars with this one and you can mount it two different ways to the trailer frame. I have had mine a couple of years and it gives me full control of my TT and you can't back up without bars falling off. You can see it on e-Trailer.com.

I have a 2500 dodge diesel and the 29fqsl nitro I notice today I would have to move my emergency trailer brake mech cause it's right in the way of where you would put the clamps on the frame. I like blue ox looks anyone know how wide the top of the clamps are?

When I bought mine I got the 1500 TW bars and I have a 29hfs.
They make an over the frame clamp and a bolt in version. I paid $780.00 for mine pulls great with no sway and I towed the first time with it 400+ miles with 20 mph wind and rain with gust of 45+ I was sold on the Blue Ox after that.

New to this but two trips so far with my 29HFS behind my 2500HD with a Blue Ox and love it so far. Being new I have nothing to compare it to other than it seems to tow great, no sway, great WD, and hooks up very easy.
