Questions about towing a travel trailer with a Self-Leveling Suspension

2004 Land Rover Discovery SE
Self-Leveling-Suspension
Class III hitch

My owner's manual specifically states "...do not use any type of equalization/weight-distribution system on a Land Rover equipped with a self-leveling suspension...?

So here is my question, since my vehicle's suspension will distribute the weight without the help of an equalizer hitch, what are my options for sway control (i.e., are there any other options besides a friction sway control system)?

Not being very familiar with travel trailer towing, I almost left the RV dealership the other night with a hitch system that could have caused major problems (even they did not know why I could not use an equalizer hitch). Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

If I can actually use some sort of equalization hitch, what kind? If not, what problems result from using this type of hitch/system? I am considering asking one of the equalizer hitch manufacturers to custom build a sway control hitch for me (I may be asking for trouble on this, but it can't hurt to ask).

This is the second Discovery I have owned. My previous vehicle was a 2000, obviously without a self-leveling suspension.

Again, any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
