When I had a Bambi I towed it with a 2000 Chevrolet 2WD Silverado using a Reese HP Trunnion hitch with 600 lbs bars and the Dual Cam sway comtrol. The combo worked great! ABSOLUTELY no sway and rode great. No "freeway hop" at all.

I have bars that came with the trailer when I bought it. How can you tell the weight rating on them?

Thanks to all who replied -- I bought a "barely used" WD hitch at a local dealer yesterday and am looking forward to seeing if it will help. I'll install it in the next few days...

One question: The hitch is made by Eaz-Lift, but the spring bars say Draw-Tite on them. As far as I can tell, they fit together just fine. Does anyone think they are not compatible?

They should be fine. I have the same thing, most pieces made by Eaz-lift, the rest by draw-tite and Reese.
