witch hitch

sorry to bother everybody. just need some advice on witch hitch to buy for my truck and trailer.

2012 dodge 3500 crew cab short box single wheels in rear with 100 gallon slip tank in box.

2014 sprinter trailer 36 ft 6 in long loaded wieghts 11000 lbs

going down the highway can get a little nerve racking lots of sway in trailer

You're title is misspelled so I misunderstood the question.....

If this is a bumper hitch then most come with anti-sway devices or can easily be fit with one. The best anti-sway hitch I know of is the Equalizer. It has square weight bars which slide in their mounts on the trailers frame which causes friction. But I'm sure other brands are good too.

If its a bumper pull I use the equalizer hitch with the anti sway bars, if its a 5th wheel hitch I use a husky 16k roller hitch. my old TT bumper pull was 10k and had very little sway, make sure your trailer is set up level front to back, and make sure you dont overload one side of it. I used also e rated tires as they have a stiffer side wall, hope this helps some.
