Is the left side of my trailer heavier?
Looking for some input. I have been trying to dial in the set-up on my new to me 2008 Ram and Raptor 3018. My hitch is a Reese Strait Line dual cam w/ 1,200 lb. trunnion bars.
My issue is it always takes a lot more grunt to snap up the left side bar vs. the right. I always hitch up the exact same way. I drop the coupler on the ball, lock the hitch and raise the truck and trailer until I really hear the jack straining. I then snap up the bars in no particular order but no matter what the order the right side I can almost snap the bracket up by hand without my cheater. The left is always wayyyyy harder. I have swapped bars, tried different bars with no difference.
My generator is on the left side up front but can it make that much difference? I really think the uneven pressure on the bars can cause some sway issues which is what I am battling.
