We tow with a K2500 Burb and on our last trip I had a cam arm get bent. When I spoke with a technician (Lucas) at Cequent (Reese), he emphasized that cargo in the back of the Burb was to be added to tongue weight when determining how much the spring bars were being loaded.
I believe the reason you're seeing a difference between your Burb and your truck despite the geometry and the trailer being the same may be related to the truck being lighter on the rear axle than the Burb was.
I recommend that you set everything up from scratch and monitor the hitched and unhitched weight on the front axle to be sure it doesn't change. At that point you'll have the right amount of pressure on the cams.
