stop the Bucking!
On a recent trip we ran into a few spots on the highway when the rig started to buck violently (hitch moving up and down rapidly). The TV is a Toyota Tacoma Pre-runner with tow package, and the trail...

Just bought a new dual axle TT, towed it empty (4950 lbs, 670 lbs TW =13.5% ) with my 2012 GMC Sierra CC Z-71 XLT with tow pkg rated at 9600 lbs. All tire pressures were correct, both the TT and TV were level using a WDH rated at 1000 lbs TW. When towing on I-65 in Indiana, we experienced severe porposing. Temp was -6 to -12 and expansion joints in concrete were buckled up. When we got on asphalt sections, it stopped completely.
I've towed our old dual axle TT (loaded was 4850 lbs, 487 lbs TW) over 15,000 miles with the same setup over some pretty rough roads and never experienced that before. It almost seemed that the WDH (EZLift) was aggravating the situation, but I can't prove that. This trailer is 6 feet longer and about 600 pounds heavier, and has a higher percent of the weight on the hitch. I need to solve the problem before setting out on a 8000 mile trip we have planned for this summer. The dealer helped me set the WDH tension which brought both the TV and the TT to level, so I'm assuming that's set right. Any help would be appreciated.
