Dealing with bow wave
I'm having issues with the bow wave from passing trucks. I have a Jayco 328RLS towed by a 1991 Chevy Suburban. I'm using a Reese Strait-Line WDH with 1500 pound bars. The front axle is about 100 pound...

The only other way I know of to cure that problem is to purchase a projection point hitch like a Hensley hitch. It will minimize the bow wave to a very slight nudge that will not affect the steering of your vehicle at all. The downside to the Hensley is that it costs quite a bit more than the hitch you have now.

I guess you can go through the adjustment process. I did. However I did not eliminate the bow effect and achieve total towing satisfaction until I broke down and spent the money on a Hensley hitch.
Once upon a time a towed a 39' 10K loaded trailer with a Ford Excursion.
My story was similar to yours.
A hensley resolved my issues. I was skeptic until I actually towed with a Hensley. Now I'm a believer. The HA WILL eliminate your bow wave issue.
