When you move that weight to the very back of your truck you will need a good sway control IMO. Yes, the dually will provide a lot of "stop" power for sway, but if you get a long trailer without sway control it WILL start swaying and depending on the circumstances it WILL start pulling your truck. My thought is to just get a good WDH with good sway control and go down the road and not worry about where the breaking point is.

Well said. One of my mottos: “ better to have it and NEVER NEED IT, than NOT have it and NEED IT”.
