Ok, I'm towing roughly 11K lbs with a 2500 LMM.

I bought a WD hitch, but when I first used it, I could sense I was hitting the bump stops on the back.

I added one washer to tilt the WD hitch down, plus moved the bar supports up one bolt, to move weight to the front.

Now when I go down the highway, the front of the trailer goes Boing Boing... up and down.

Did I go to far? Doesn't seem like I made much of a change.

Maybe the bolts I've selected on the bar are too high or low for the hitch itself?

Any tips?

My truck did the same things with my hitch hooked up. I got rid of it and installed airbags and a reg drop hitch and all fixed...

get soem bilstens or ranchos stock shocks are trash form the factory :o:

According to the forest river website, your toy haulers tongue weight is 996lbs. But that is dry weight. Assuming you had your toys in the back, the tongue weight is probably less. If you can get to a truck scale, find out what the tongue weight is loaded down. From there, you can figure what size w/d bars you need. I would say 1200lb bars should be ok. As far as how to set your ball height, level the tt and measure the height to the top of the coupler. Now for every 100lbs of tongue weight your hitch ball sould be 1/16in figher than you coupler. So if your coupler is 25in level, and you tongue weight is say 900lbs, then you want the top of the ball to sit at 25 9/16in. As for the w/d bars, this is trial and error. Measure the front and rear wheel wells to the ground. Now hook up your trailer with the bars attached and re-measure your wheel wells. They should both drop roughly the same. The back may drop a little more than the front, but the front shouldn't increase. If it does, then add a washer to the hitch for more w/d. By the way, your bars should always be parallel with the trailer. And the trailer should be level, or slightly nose down. Definitely not nose high. Hope this helps. Jerry.

Jerry thanks for the great post.

I'll probably want the shocks too but it'll be a while.

mine bounced alot also. i think that it is the w/d bars. i also got airbags and i dont even know that there is a trailer behind me anymore. the airbags was one of the best investments that i made to my truck. i think that if you have your w/d bars to high it will cause it to bounce. i would get some air bags.
