Do I need a WD hitch for this set up?
I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Dmax 4x4 crew with short bed. I'm going next week to pick up a 5000lb TT with a tongue weight of 550lbs and an overall length of 29ft. Its going to be a 6hr trip towi...

My thoughts are that if the trailer weights 5000lbs and you only have 550lbs on the tongue then you might want to add some weight to the tongue (think 13% -15% TW on tongue.) Only reason I say this is because a 29' trailer is a very large wind catcher and without enough weight on the ball it could start to sway out of control.
What would scare me really is that light of a trailer being so long. While you don't really need a WDH based on weights (IMO) - it might be nice to use a WDH with a sway control setup if you have one laying around.
