... how too much friction in sway control might cause a problem with reduce friction between the tires and the road?
... The result would be tires skidding as they tour a curve . A sway control system will tend to do that very thing. Too much resistance to bending and a problem may develop. A wet or icy road will exacerbate the problem, so being able to reduce friction is an advantage.

I think you both are on the same side of the argument. Think of a truck and trailer with the hitch welded so that they both stay in line. The result would be tires skidding as they tour a curve.

Water is an effective lubricant. I would think water would automatically reduce the friction of the Equalizer 4 pt or Reese dual cam. I use a dab of grease on my L brackets anyhow to keep them quiet so it's already less effective.

Are you not understanding how too much friction in sway control might cause a problem with reduce friction between the tires and the road?
