First, let's be clear about the difference between sway bars (which are intended to control sway) and the springbars on a weight-distributing hitch (which are part of the weight-distribution mechanism). Many people use the two terms interchangeably, which is not technically correct.
Since TMs are built specifically not to sway, hardly anyone needs a sway-control mechanism.
Because the TM has a high tongue weight relative to total weight (this is part of the sway-avoidance design), almost everyone needs a WDH and springbars. The exception is for those folks with a heavy or very long tow vehicle. Your F-250 falls into that category, so you probably don't need a WDH or springbars. However, it is likely that you shouldn't use a bumper hitch. I have not checked your bumper rating, but it may not be enough. Instead, you would use a Class III/IV or Class IV frame mounted hitch receiver, and a weight-carrying (as opposed to weight-distributing) hitch.
You certainly could substitute a WDH later if you feel the need, but I doubt that you will.
