Another WD Hitch Question
I think I have my hitch setup good now. Just one question. When driving down the interstate at 55 or 60 mph and we go over a joint or bridge that has a bump, the truck almost rocks back and fourth ...

Just to be clear, when you say "back and forth" do you mean the truck is bouncing up and down?
I would first check how much weight the WDH is returning to the front axle of the TV and adjust accordingly. There are some excellent articles on RV.NET that address WDH adjustment, and I am certainly not an expert. My WDH was adjusted to return the front end height of the TV to the same as unloaded, or slightly higher. That's not my advice... Just what I did.
Once the WDH adjustment is confirmed, shocks will definetly help dampening your ride. I installed Bilstein 5100's and discovered the 17k mile OEM shocks were totally shot. I also have airbags front and rear, but these will not help at all to prevent porpoising, and will probably make it worse.
