I have found the most common reason for chucking is low pin weight percentage.
I wish that were true for us. We run at right around 23% and had horrible chucking.
What did you do to correct the chucking?
I would be interested to see the CAT scale weights for your setup.
Changed from a Trailair to a Triglide in 2013. Took about 85% of the chucking out.
My weights
Those two hitches just mask the issue they DON"T FIX IT!
Look for the root cause.
Low pin weight. 23% as noted above
Very Good shocks on the TV Bilsteins, no affect on chucking
5er towing level It's within 1 inch, nose high
Shocks on all 5er axles No shocks, might help, might not
JMHO
Those aren't hitches, they are pins.
A change in hitch from the current 16k Reese might help. If I could get a manufacturer to let me try out their "wonder" hitches, and it worked, I would buy it. Not going to just throw money at a maybe. Had a cheap hitch on my previous 5th wheel set up long ago and no chucking. So a hitch is by no means a sure thing. The Tri-glide was an almost sure thing, and it actually helped a lot.
