Andersen Ultimate not working for me
I went from a Reese 16K slider to the Andersen ultimate. My trailer was very stable with the Reese, with the Andersen the trailer is constantly moveing around. It is bad enough that can feel it and it...

The other thing could be your truck. Conventional fifth hitches put the center of pin just in front of the axle. The Anderson, especially in the rear position, is going to increase load on the trucks rear axle and decrease load on the trucks front axle. This is because more load is going towards the back legs of the Anderson. That could cause some change in handling too.
You sure that there isn't any movement in the block that attaches to the pin?
I spoke with the Anderson folks and any weight you put on the hitch will be the same as putting the weight on a fifth wheel hitch. The weight goes on the frame of the hitch which is stationary. The frame fits the truck in the same location as does a rail system. The Anderson hitch frame has no front or rear position. You can swap the pin box adapter end for end to move the trailer 4" further forward, but it still mounts to the ball on the hitch in the same location.
