The MorRyde isn't designed to reduce hitch slop. If you have hitch slop it will be there regardless. Looking to soften/dampen some of the for/aft jarring that gets transmitted from 5er to TV due to the tight connection of the ball/coupler.
The reasons for the for/aft jarring can be seen in this thread!

This was my solution.
I tow an 12,360# GVWR 5er with a 2001 Ram 2500, and have a standard Reese hitch and standard pin box. I have near zero chucking because my 5er rides smooth it's self!
#1 Reason for chucking is too light of pin 20% minimum for a 5er 22% is better. I always run with FW tank full as it is forward of the axles.
#2 Fiver as near level as possible, our 32' might now be at most an inch nose high.
#3 Great shocks on the TV, Bilstein's on ours.
#4 Shocks (working) of the 5er.
#5 Wet bolts and heavy duty shackles on the 5er.
