Bouncy issue

I don't know exacts, but loaded weight should be roughly between 9000-9500lbs and my tongue weight around 1000lbs. The TT does not have shocks just leaf springs. I am running my WDH(blue ox swaypro2) on the 9th link as my dealer said that was recommended and the truck only sags at most one inch and the TT runs level. I didn't have this issue with my previous TT which was 32ft and 7000lbs loaded with at most 900lbs tongue weight.

1. You should get some actual scale weights. They might surprise you.

2. The number of chain links varies with every truck / trailer combo. There is no standard number of links. I installed my BlueOx Swaypro 1500, and from what I remember of the installation manual, it said start with link 7, then adjust up or down as necessary. Link 9 sounds a bit weak on weight distribution. Without accurate weights or using fender well measurements, your just guessing on WDH adjustments. Note: Tongue weight is not a constant number. It goes up and down during every trip. Adjust your WDH to support your highest tongue weight.

3. Is your bouncy ride with or without water on board? I noticed in the specs, your grey water capacity is 78 gallons. That suggests more than one grey tank. Mine does, and my on board water levels can change my tongue weight by as much as 250 lbs. My fresh tank is behind the axles and takes weight off the tongue, my black and grey tanks are directly above the axles and have little to no effect on tongue weight, and my galley tank is way up front, where it adds a lot of tongue weight. My loaded weight is 7400 lbs and my tongue weight can be anywhere between 975 and 1225 lbs.

Your bouncy ride could be caused by a combination of several things. Springs, hitch adjustment (ball height, chain links), shocks, tire inflation, trailer loading, bad roads, etc.
