I agree on frame flexing and possibly breakage. I had a 5er that wasn't as bad as yours but it was totally from flexing and no breaks or cracks in the frame. It wasn't covered under the bedroom so I could see all of the frame and it was fine - just not strong enough. Does yours have an extended pin box? All of my 5ers have had them and I switched all of them to standard length boxes. I can do that cuz I have a LB truck and what a difference in flexing that makes! Taking off 10" cuts it in half. I traded my long box for a short box with a friend one of the times but otherwise I cut mine apart and move the pin back and weld it back together. Craig
