Sam,
The level of the TT has very little to do with how much the trailer will porpoise or with how well the WD works. Although you want to tow with the trailer in a level attitude for clearance issues and sway issues, the bouncing you are describing is probably due to an improperly set up WD hitch.
Take a long look at this thread for some direction in setting one up. Also the advice to get your rig weighed is right on. Without scale numbers everything is just a guess.

Scale numbers? I agree his setup is most likely the culprit but I have yet to see a manufacturer of a WDH tell you to go to scales to set one up. I also have yet to see an RV dealer take a rig to a CAT scale to set one up. It's done by measurements from a level surface, it's not a guess.
