It does feel like it is porpoising, if that means the front of my truck goes up and down for a while after going over a dip in the road.

However, when we started out the trip, I had a full tank of fresh water (400 pounds in the front), and my tranny was running up to 190* on the grades. We used all the water, and only kept enough in the tank to use the restroom, and the tranny temp stayed around 160-170 on the grades.
41,000 miles on the OEM shocks, I'm sure they need to be replaced, BUT, I am not 100% confident the dealer set up my HD hitch correctly. When I left the dealer with the trailer, it sat almost level, by the end of our trip, it was sagging in the rear. I am headed back to the dealer this month for some random warranty work, I will ask about the hitch set up.
Shocks will help but it does sound like your hitch is not setup properly. I would recommend YOU learn how to work on your hitch rather than relying on some kid at s dealer. What are you going to do if your stuck on the side of the road because of a problem with your hitch? Learn how it operates and how to make adjustments if needed.
