Posting for friend who has question about weight dist hitch

Thanks, made me feel better :) Common sense would say that if hitch rated at 1500 and WDH 1200, I'm better off with my hitch. Haven't drove it much, but did get bouncy bouncy, some, not major, PRE LOADED without another 1500 pounds in weight. With mind you, the WDH. So I can only assume who hooked it up did it wrong :)
