It is too bad you couldn't make the TS3 fit. The BD3 will dissipate the bouncing forces and the MORyde will help with the chucking forces. The TS3 would have been a better solution for your ride. As a fifth wheel's pin pushes down, it also pushes forward; this is why you have both bouncing and chucking forces. When the trailer pushes a TS3 down, the hitch head also retracts due to the high hinge design, eliminating both forces. My trailer was a bouncing, chucking mess with a B&W solid hitch, intolerable. Towed it home from a trip today with the TS3, a pleasure.
