I've had a Hensley with a 36 ft. TT for many years and can see no way that a hitch of any kind would give a rough ride. Ride is governed by the suspension of the truck and the trailer; all the hitch does is link the two together, apply weight distribution, and with a Hensley, prevents sway. I tow with a 2012 F350 powerstroke King Ranch and it rides like a wagon, with or without the trailer. I've replaced all shocks and steering stablizer with Bilsteins and have air bags at all 4 corners. In addition, I've upgraded trailer axles from 5k with 15 inch wheels to 7k with 16 inch wheels, added MorRyde, and shocks. The unit is solid and smooth on good roads, but you feel every bump if the roads are not good. Nature of the beast; live with it.
