Rough Rider GMC 2500HD need help!

I have a 2013 GMC 2500HD LT Crew Short Box 6.2 Gas 4WD. I love the truck but it is beating my wife and I to death when we tow our Zinger 27 foot TT. It is so bad I'm thinking of getting air ride seats. Has anyone else noticed this and what have you done to correct it?

    Original or second owner? Need a better description of "beating us to death" as that can be interpreted in many ways. Porpoising? Stiff ride?

    A picture of TV and trailer connected goes a long way otherwise everyone is just speculating here.

    BTW you have the 6.0, not 6.2 motor that only comes in 1/2 ton.

    Make sure that the spring bars of your hitch are not too stiff for the tongue weight of your trailer.

    I had that problem with a trailer that was tail heavy, the hitch had been shortened. Are you carrying anything heavy on the rear?
