Some of you may tell me to get my rig weighed as this is the only info that i can think that I didn't supply.
There are three critical pieces of information missing, and without them we don't have a good basis for providing advice.
We need to know the tongue weight and the total trailer weight in order to know if the tongue weight percentage is in the right ball park.
We also need to know how much load is being transferred by the WDH because the amount of sway control generated is almost entirely dependent on the amount of load which is applied to the WD bars.

You are absolutley correct and I almost didn't want to write this up as all one can trully say is their gut feeling but I figured I would while I had time and hopefully can get the rig weight soon. I know I have read many things that you have posted and the numbers never lie.
You just got to understand that I live in the middle of nowhere(no cable or internet where I live but i'm high enough on the mountain i get cell service so i use my phone as internet). I do what to get my rig weighed and hopefully I can answer my own question but was looking for any gut input. I know you can't see my set up and can only invison it but many have probably had the same issues and may be able to help.
I have loaded my truck with wood many times and saw it drop to the ground and know the trucks limits, it doesn't hit the bump stops when trailer is on without wdh. Once wdh it hooked up it picks the back end up and makes the truck sit just above level. I will hopefully get it weighed soon as I am planning another trip in two weeks and I am passing by a official cat scale and i'm budgeting time to stop.
The more I think about it the more I wonder how much the tongue weight really is with 60lbs of propane and another 50 for battery and 50-75 in tools it adds up quickly but it just sat to good in the beginning to make me worry. But now i'm thinking that this may be my issue. Thanks
