One way to improve ride quality IF your within payload etc. is to use a air safe air hitch. really uncouples the trailer movement from the truck. frost heaves, expansion joints, etc. are hardly noticed. After I got ours first ride was on a road to the coast full of frost heaves I'd driven before. Had I not known better I'd have sworn they repaved the road.
Now for the downsides. It is HEAVY, around 100lbs or more which makes putting it on or removing it from the reciever, a chore, and likewise to move it around. Mine is a class VII for a 2.5" reciever and in addition to the air bags has two shocks on it as well.
Second, it isn't inexpensive. you pay for what you get.
But it works and is completely compatible with most WD and sway control setups. I say most because not sure it would work with a Hensley or similar hitches.
