We have used the sway bar with both our '08 and '13 Explorers.  Especially with a shorter wheelbase as your S-10 has, I would definitely get a sway bar, you will travel much safer and note a world of difference as you go down the road, especially when semi's pass or when encountering heavy cross winds.  Also, make sure the nose of the pod points down just slightly, it will help reduce sway as well.

As far as the WDH, many here use them, it makes for a better, safer ride as well.  We haven't seen the need for that with our Explorer, hence we go with the basic sway bar.  Have traveled over 25,000 miles with our 2011  177 and haven't ever felt the need to go with one.

	We just purchased a used 2013 RP-177, and when towing home noticed there was a slight sway to the trailer that transferred to the truck. (Towing with a 2003 Chevy S10) Is it necessary to use sway bars with RPods? or better yet, a stabilizer hitch?
