Try to adjust the trailer load, placing a bit more weight on the tongue.
Trailers dislike being rear-heavy and they let you know it by swaying.

I am turning to "the list" for some help.
I am hauling a 16' enclosed trailer with a Bugeye & race stuff inside. The
car and stuff is probably about 1 ton and the trailer about the same. I
have
an equalizer hitch on a '96 Blazer and tend to get some swaying feeling
from
time to time. I think the trailer is oscillating slightly from side to
side
(leaning a little left and them a little right). I do have a friction sway
bar which does seem to help.
Is there some type of shock kit that I can add to the trailer? What other
possibilities should I pursue?
I also need a spare wheel. The wheels are 15" and have a large (8") center
hole. The 4 hole bolt pattern is on approx. a 5" radius. I believe this
is
a Dexter wheel. Does anyone have an extra they would like to sell or know
where I could find one?
