SwayPro™ Owner’s Manual & Installation Instructions Welcome to the Blue Ox® Family The SwayPro™ is a revolutionary hitch that not only handles weight distribution but sway control as well by using the combination of loaded spring bars, easy to use rotating latches and an integrated hitch head. As the trailer tries to sway it puts a heavier load on one side of the bars, as this happens the spring bars will pivot on the hitch head and balance each other preventing the trailer from swaying.
