Also, just curious. What is your PIN weight, and on your hitch, was it just spacers and bolts they used or did they have the long L brackets also. I wonder this because when they put my 5th wheel hitch on, the mounting kit was just the bolts and spacers and some very small 1" x 1" brackets.
The specified pin weight for this 5ver is listed at 1100 lbs., light for this much trailer. (list at 7700 lbs). Haven't actually weighed it yet so not sure of actual weight. The truck certainly handled the weight with out any problems. Pulled just fine except this funny response. One suggestion has been that I had the airbags under inflated, thus causing the the trailer to rock back and forth. That would likely give me the sensation I was experiencing. I'll try a higher setting on the bags in the future to see if that makes the feeling go away.
