The "Dual Cam High Performance Sway Control" that you reference in the second link is an add-on to a Reese WD hitch. You have to have the WD hitch in order to use the Sway Control. Followthis link and scroll down to "STRAIT-LINE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTING SQUARE BAR/TRUNNION HITCH SYSTEMS WITH DUAL CAM SWAY SYSTEM".


If the trailer really weighs 4000 lbs, then you probably don't need a WD hitch. That trailer is only 14ft long. I would be surprised if you have any sway issues. You might try posting on http://www.rv.net/forums in the "Folding Trailers" or the "Towing" sections. You will get advice from others with a similar setup.
I see. Thanks for the help. The trailer weighs 3100 dry and 3900 loaded. Its not a big trailer...just my first one so im a little inexperienced. I do have one of the sway control friction bars seen here http://www.reese-hitches.com/sway_controls.htm but my issue is when I bought the trailer my truck was stock height. I have since lifted it and now have a B&W adjustable receiver hitch ball with a 6" drop and the front little ball that mounts for the sway bar will not work with the new hitch. I was just trying to decide if I needed to spend the extra $$$ for a new hitch that will accept the little ball.
