Dual Cam setup
So I set up the dual cam last year. the truck rode great. the only issue was some sway during wind gusts, large trucks or line of cars passing and some bouncing from the rear end. I just put new lt t...

The biggest notice was in the turns but it seemed like the whole system was slightly destabilized. I went from p to LT E tires and this was the first tow. 40 front 60 rear. I dont ever remember last year those cams being way off like that. that is why I was asking abou them.
Could the tires do it?
40psi in LT E tires can create unstable towing. In the truck it feels like the back of the truck just shifted but the problem can be the front end.
LT tires, jsut like P tires need air pressure to create a stiffer tire. LT's that low in pressure pending brand can be sog city. You can only gain the benifit of the stiffer LT tire by up'ing the air pressure.
By experiment.... keep up'ing the front. I woujd say start at 55psi and keep going up in 5 psi moves until it is so hard the front of the truck bounces, then back down 5 psi.Each truck brand and suspseiong react diffetent as well as the brand of LT tire.
You amy find that you need ~70psi rear and 60 to 65 psi front to create a stable truck.
The DC needs to get adjusted and the tire pressure needs to be optimized as a place to start. After that, we can still drill deeper in WD setup.
The DC cannot hold the truck stable if the tires on the truck are soggy.
Also, are the trailer tires aired up to max side wall cold pressure?
What brand LT tires and size did you get?
Hope this helps
