Have you taken the truck/trailer across a set of CAT scales and been weighed?
Weigh truck w/o trailer
Then weigh truck and trailer combo.
Now you will have starting point for setting up combo.
Most bumper pull trailer sway is due to light tongue weight/set up
Also...is trailer level when hitched?
I have tried nose up, level, nose down, and different levels with the air bags inflated and deflated. Nose down to level seems the best.
I was going to weigh it at my local free scales, but they closed. I have always gone toward the 10% + tongue weight rule (?). And I think I'm close, but I want to get it weighed.
Good points, thanks. I need to go to the feed mill and get it checked out.
