Chances are the fifth wheel hitch is mounted to far back. Being a short bed, the hitch is most likely mounted above center of axle if not behind center. Move the hitch forward to at least 2" ahead of center of axle, 4" is better yet.
Actually I reversed the Andersen hitch mount which moves the mount about 2" to the rear of the axle. I was looking to create more cab clearance on tight turns. It never occurred to me that I might be making the chucking issue worse.
