I read over all the OP's posts carefully, and I'm not convinced there is a problem. Its a 3/4 ton truck towing 12k of toy hauler, and all is well on asphalt roads. Its when things get rough, the truck gets rough. Air bags and new shocks could help, but is there really anything else to fix an issue that is pretty normal?
Also be advised, if the TT really weighs 12,000lbs and the TW is accurately weighed and calculated to have 13% TW, that's well over the Hensley max TW of 1400lbs. I have a feeling the real TW is well over 1400lbs, making the ride worse than it needs to be with the Hensley. Shoot for 10-11% TOP TW IMO.
Thanks much for taking the time to carefully read my post and respond in a thoughtful manner.
1) I do actually weigh the TW.
2) In making my calculations of TW percentage, I was considering the wieght of the Hensley and support equipment that stays permanently on the TW of the trailer. Just like the propane and batteriens on the tongue.
3) Hensley tells me that (minus the wieght of the Hensley) I should stay at or bleow 1400 TW to be in spec,
4) As the weight of the permanently attached Hensleycomponents is a about 150 pounds, I was are 1550 pounds of TW.
3) 1550/12000 got e to my approximater 13% TW.
An alternative insteresting thread might be on whether to include the weight of the permanently attached Hensley components in the TW...Given that it is hard mounted to the TW, just like the Barttery and LP, sure seeems to me it should be considered.
