Just throwing it out there so the correct decision is made.

That being said, I run the plastics most of the time to avoid the squeal. Have never had a problem with sway with my TV and TT weight setup.

This thread kind of got off kilter with the airbags LOL All good.......

Progressive (Equalizer) recommends lubing the friction points of the hitch;

They also recommend the plastic sleeves to reduce noise with the stipulation that they "can" reduce sway control somewhat. Like you, I use them and have had no ill effects with them.
