The best sway control for Reese type hitches is their top of the line "cam"
system. It uses cams on arms to engage the reese bars, and actively forces
the trailer to track straight, rather than just using a friction
damper. You don't see these often, but a trailer place may be able to
guide you. I've used them for years, just 'cause they happened to come on
a trailer I bought.
Other than that, I'd tend to look at vastly upgrade shocks for the truck,
not the trailer, and possibly helper springs at the back.
